Corvette Column
I was driving my brother-in-laws 78 Vette around this weekend and was checking out the steering column. Anyone ever used a Corvette Steering column in our trucks?
Granted, I have no idea how much one would even go for. So the cost might make it unreasonable. Edit: Didn't even think about it not having a shifter. Guess it could work for manual trans though.

Re: Corvette Column
My ex father In Law's 75 vette had a manual in it and the column moves when you shif the 4 speed if i remember correctly. That was how the Neutral safety switch worked.
