Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Ok, got the brakes all finished up. Time to mount the steering column and see if calculations were correct. Guess what....
Column fits just barely and all is well as long as you don't ever need to put the vehicle in PARK. Argh. There is no more moving the booster up because the fluid cap would rub on the hood, don't want to move the column down because of the factory hole and rubber seal. Soooo, I loped off the shift ear that was making contact and will have to weld a new piece on a little lower to clear. Tell me something, is there a part missing to hold up my steering column? I found the 1 inch wide strap, but isn't there something else? I can't find it in my parts boxes.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Painting is really just some practice and a little instruction. If you want to come to Memphis, I can show you what I know (not much) - then just practice on some old sheet metal.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
There is the big rectangular thick piece that reinforces the area but doesn't really hold up the column. There is a piece that bolts to the firewall...can't see if that's on in your picture or not.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I have the big part that the brake pedal hangs from, and a 1 inch wide strap that clamps the column to that. At the firewall I have a football shaped piece that the column goes through with 2 screws to the firewall. My problem is the the column still wiggles. You can actually see the column move at the firewall and if you pull it enough you see daylight at the rubber grommet to column. Is there a clamp outside the firewall?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
It's a little tight in here tonight.
I hooked up my previous steering mount old to new conversion and it still works fine, no binding. Man, look how close it is under the booster. You can see the brake fluid cap is also going the be close to the hood. I am figuring about 3 eighths of an inch, I may put a felt hat on it just in case. ![]()

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
It's the piece shown with the big arrow B pointing to it (note the three bolts)

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
You could get a lower profile reservoir for you brakes to free up some clearance.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I was lurking around...haha I probably have one that would work for you. Give me a measurment of the height of yours and the distance between where it plugs in the master and I will check.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
A few more pics from last night showing my reinforcing sleeve and a shot of my seat fully back in relation to my steering wheel. The eyelet end piece is the old trucks mount that connects to the brake pedal arm. It is threaded for adjustment and here I have it turned out about 1 turn.
I went out to my current driver truck and I have the seat adjusted a few inches forward of where this picture is showing. I'm 5-10 so any 6 foot plus guy should fit in here no problem.
