Re: How to move a non-tilt column forward.

TP, I'll admit it. I have a fat gut and need the space. Actually, I was going to put a smaller chrome 3-spoke steering wheel in I feel out of place driving new vehicles in general!

Without powersteering I wouldn't do it The bigger wheel is for more leverage..............Drove enough 2-tons and bigger without powersteering to know why they put such a large wheel in

I may have a parts truck lined up with power-steering. Will keep you posted. Manual steering has taught me a lot the little I have drove with it. Now I can see why the steering wheel is all cracked

SO if I am understanding this right, you can drill the plugs out, slide the column ahead, and it will be fine? I don't need to put bolts through the shaft to hold it together?

Correct! The plastic is there in case of accident the steering column can collapse a little.
