Gabe, good idea about power steering. .. could put a much smaller wheel on then. I've put on 2 pounds a year over the past 35 years... damn! I too wish I could just maintain a weight.
Mine is out of a 1982 Eldorado. Tilt telescope and two inches shorter than ones in rear wheel drive Caddys. That way the piece sticking out of the firewall is two inches shorter and minimizes interference with exhaust, etc.
