I picked up a steering column to install in my '52 pickup project. And I have a question on how to install it. It's out of a late 80's S10.

It looks like the section that goes thru the floor is 2" dia. I'm assuming that I can buy a floor mount to use where the column penetrates the floorboard.

My question is about the upper section that will hang below the dash. Below the gear shift, the column has a plastic casing around the column that is approx 3.25 - 3.5" in diameter. Do I need to remove that casing in order to use a column drop below the dash?

Thanks

Bill
