1971 Chevy C10 - Tilt Into A New Steering Column

We slid the clamp over and let the upper end of the column hang by it.

Within the engine compartment, PCC installed the lower column mount to the firewall.

We snugged the lower firewall column mount up a bit, but didn't fully tighten it yet, as the column will need to be moved up or down.

Determine how much of the column you want sticking out of the dash. We decided a couple of inches would be a good length. This can always be changed later on down the road to make it more comfortable.

With the column where we wanted it, we tightened the upper clamp.

We made sure the column was straight in the truck and that it wasn't leaning to the left or to the right. Usually the turn signal arm should be perfectly horizontal. We completely tightened the lower and upper clamps.

To keep out heat and noise, PCC pushed on the lower rubber boot.

The small metal ring makes sure the rubber insulator stays tight and in place.

PCC plugged in the column's wiring.
