Re: shorty tilt

Mine arrived today very impressed with the quality of work.

Do you do them for 85s?

Re: shorty tilt

I received my steering column, and so far, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

70shortfleet deserves recognition; he's done an exceptional job with packaging. As the saying says, a good first impression can work wonders. Even dough I haven't unwrapped the column, just by looking at how he prepped the package to ship, I can only assume that I will be delighted with the steering column. I will post more pictures once I unwrap it.

Re: shorty tilt

I am interested in how this feels to drive. I am 6-1 and have not really noticed any problems with me fitting in the cab. Very nice work!

I think the extra space afforded by the shorter column may be more important to those with a larger waistline than those with longer legs.

Just a guess.

Re: shorty tilt

Les, I think I have bought a rebuilt column from you in the past. Think I could send you mine back and have it shortened?

My problem was I never liked the wheel to close I felt like I was on top of it in the truck. Now i can straighten my arms while driving . Much more comfortable now

Re: shorty tilt

I am glad he’s still doing these because he’s the best if only he would go back to doing the gauges but my 60 with the clock did him in

Re: shorty tilt

I'm really excited to get mine, thanks Les!

The 15" black repop wheels seem to be out of stock at Holley and LMC though, anyone know a supplier that has some?
