Shortened steering columns

Hey all,

Looking to purchase a new steering column soon. As part of my build I'll be changing out the seats to something (likely) from a mid 90's to early 2000's Silverado that has the shoulder belt built in. From what I've read, these seats are a little taller and thicker than the stock bench seats, which means tall/large people might be more pressed for space.

I'm about 6'1" and (will be once I lose some weight) 210 lbs. I'd like to ensure it remains a comfortable ride for both me and my guests.

Has anyone found/run a shorter steering column that puts the wheel a little closer to the dash, and if so, what did they use? Is there an off-the-shelf solution available, or would I be looking at customizing a new column?

Would like to go with a tilt as well, to help with space if needed.

Cheers all!
