So, let me get this straight, to make sure I’m reading this right.

The Van tilt column collapsible portion is (about) 2 1/2 inches longer than a standard non-tilt Truck column. Am I correct in saying that?
This being said, one could cut 2 3/4 inches off the end (male portion) of a Van Tilt, to be able to fit into a Truck. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Of course I know that the other minor mods need to be done for the wiring and lights.
