flaming river steering column which one??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Summit has free shipping an 15% discount so I thought let's finally buy that steering column.

Now I see they have 2 different aplications which one do I need.
Perhaps someone of you can help me out?

one is with 1.00 inch DD shaft. Neutral safety switch located 17 inch from the bottom of the spline shaft.

and the other is 1.00 inch DD shaft. Neutral safety switch located 10 inch from the bottom of the spline shaft.

Thanks for any advice

Hi Dutchman,

Did you ever get an answer to your question? 10" or 17"? I'm trying to order the same part and I need to pick the right part.

Thanks!

Hi Mike67,

I have the column with the 10" neutral safetyswitch.
It's still in the box but from what I can see it will be a tight fit for the switch, it will sit straight to the inside of the firewall.

If you take the column with the switch located 17" from the bottom of the column it will fit ok.
I don't have a safetyswitch in it now so I don't know the exact position of it.

Hope this helps a bit or perhaps an other boardmember can tell you the right location of the switch.
Have a nice day

I just bought mine from PICKMUP (Frank) out in Washington State. He orders lots from Flaming River and they are set up specifically for 67-72 GM Trucks...for a great price. You can also ask him any question and get the right answer.
