Cool Shortening Steering Column

Just read, in the FAQ forum, a how to on shortening a steering column. This was for a 67-72.

Does anyone know if this is possible for 73-87's?? Ever done it? Got a HOW To??

I'm 6' 4" and twohundredandtoomany pounds and could use the extra reach and belly room. (That, or convert to a crew cab and shove the seat back!)

Re: Shortening Steering Column

I asked the same question and no luck with a response. I don't need the belly room but I think it would look better and be a nicer reach when driving. I am currently trying to buy a used column and then start hacking. If I am successful I will post some info.
