Swapping columns
Next weekend I plan to swap steering column out in the ramp truck. I have the tilt column done and ready to install. Taking a old 3 speed out of it. I ordered a 3/4" 36 spline DD union to make it up to the shaft in the truck now. Here is what it looks like.
My plan is pull the steering column out of it. Then install the tilt and have it mounted. Take the rag joint and shaft and cut it as long as possible. Then remount it and cut it again for the right length. I shouldn't have to take the fire wall bracket & boot out since the tilt is for a floor shifter. I have cut the gear selector rod off since this picture was took. I hope. No neutral switch to mess with either. Anybody see anything I'm missing

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
