Steering Column Suggestions???
I have just finished a Volare front clip in my 54 and would like some ideas on a steering column. I am trying to stay under the Flaming/Ididit price range, so a junk yard raid is in order. I want tilt, auto, and no key, any dos and don'ts would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

These were the same criteria I wanted to satisfy when I searched for a column for my '51. Check in '73-'79 Ford trucks. That's where I found mine.

Early (70-80) GM G van with ignition switch on the dash and hard to find P vans (parcel delivery step van).
PS; frequently some used ones on eBay.

Shouldnt have to shorten. Just get the wrong Borgenson joint. What advantage is most aftermarket wiring harness are setup for this column.
