    Hey, gang
    I talked to a Classic Chevy parts dude today about getting a tilt steering column for my '51 1/2 ton AD. He said to look for a van column from the seventies. Are there any other years that mod up with not much hassle? Seventies vans are kinda scarce in my area. I'm sure I saw other steering columns used with these trucks. The ididit route would be dreamy, but so is the asking price. Oh, yeah; the without the shifter on the column.

    P.S. The engine is a SBC with block hugger headers on it. Of course the steering box and all else will be changed out.
    Thanks in advance
    Tim
