Re: Uncle Howard's 1946 Chevy Truck

I cut the old mount off, plugged the holes, cut if off so the hight and position would be where I desired on the old truck, and welded on. It took some figuring so the linkage would clear and not cause problems.

One advantage of the aftermarket columns is that most the external electronics / switches are hidden. I plan to design some sort of cover to go around the lower axle tube later that will hide much of this. Not sure how yet, but I'll tackle that when it comes. I see there are not pics of the lower plate I made, but I made a plate that was welded onto the base of the vette column that matches the original mount locations. I worked really well. I am very happy with the turnout. More pics to come.
