Yes it is. Otherwise, the column won't bolt in. It interferes.

Not on all van tilts.. the early ones.. 70 - 73 have the neutral safety switch in the correct location and even have the correct levers.. the only change necessary on them is the shaft length...

Switch
You can remove it, but your truck will start in any gear.

thanks for the info. i have 6 columns i plan on rebuilding for sale and didnt know if relocating switch was neccessary. the collars that have loose pins are going to be shaved and turned into floor shift models. i just did a floor shift model for my truck. i shortened the mast 2 inches to get the steering wheel out of my face. much better. i can even see my bottom gauges now.

If you're using Windows XP, find the actual file on your computer, right-click the file and choose "Edit".
This should open it in MS Paint program. From the 'Image" menu, choose Stretch/Skew. Change the numbers to be 50%horizontal and 50% vertical and click OK. This will shrink the dimensions by half. From the 'File' menu, choose "Save as" and save the file as a JPEG with a different name. The board should let you upload it without a problem. If it's too small to see the details, you can try doing a 75% shrink.
