Just did a test fit of my modified Van Tilt...I followed Putters instructions. I am sure it has given me at least 2.5" to 3" of room over the stock location. I am 6'3 so I need all the help I can get for room. Again, it is only a test fit so please disregard the old instrument panel - I needed it for reference.
I am very pleased as to how the van tilt turned out. I took it completely apart, did the neccessary modifications to make it fit in the truck, cleaned all of the bearings, replaced the tilt sphere and lubed it all down with Mobile One Bearing grease before painting and re-assembling it.
I am awaiting the Gear Indicator and Chrome Housing for the tilt to be finished, then many more hours of painting and assembly to put her back together.
