You can adjust where the bottom goes through the floor/firewall, the column drop at the dash, distance from the floor to steering wheel, height of seat, distance of seat from the dash and wheel, and rake of the seat. Moving one affects the rest and clearances in the engine compartment to headers, steering boxes, brake boosters and lines. If you look at the build threads, the steering is usually one of the last things figured out when all of the fixed stuff that can be affected is installed.

yes I think I will just wait until I get the seats. I just would rather have cut the hole before I painted the firewall because after the cab is bolted down and the engine is in you can not get to the firewall for paint.
