Steering Column Question

I recently purchased a 70 GMC and it has the standard non tilt column with auto shift on the column.
My son is 6'6" and I am 6'3" and we are both a "little" heavy in the middle if you know what I mean. Is there a way to shorten the column? Would a tilt column help much? Can I get an aftermarket column that would be shorter?

Thanks for any help / suggestions.

Dusty

Re: Steering Column Question

I installed a tilt and a smaller wheel and it helped a lot.
