Shortening steering column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**FL71C10** · 06-03-2017, 05:24 PM

I just got a "new" 68 C10 and I want to shorten the steering column. It is a 4 speed truck, and I was wondering if anyone has ever done this with a 4 speed column. I read putter's thread in the Tech FAQ section, and am wondering how hard it will be to take the steering column out with the emergency brake handle and parts that are bolted to the column. Has anyone done this on a 67 or 68? Does a floor shift column have to have the slot moved like on an automatic column?

Any suggestions are welcome.
