53 Chevy - Steering Column

Steering Column

The tilt steering column came from a '85 Chevy S-10. To install, I cut the existing mounting flange and made a new one from sheet metal.

Because the sterring linkage had two joints in it, I had to install this support bearing which I installed by welding up a bracket at just the angle I needed.

To connect the column shifter linkage to the transmission, I used this kit from Lokar. I also used their gas pedal kit which you can also see in this picture( below and to left of steering column).
Update Ended up scrapping the Lokar tranny shift cable. I could never get it adjusted correctly so that it would shift through all of the gears. I switched to their solid adjustable shift rod. This was a breeze to install and get everything shifting as it should.
