Are his re-manufactored factory units or aftermarket? Are they a direct bolt in? Thank you

Rebuilt factory. They are direct bolt in.

Here's Kevin's work.

....Need I say more?

He's the man.

Vandals909 · 06-27-2010, 12:54 PM

Look real nice.I'll have the PM him. Do you know if going with a tilt makes the column shorter or closer the dash? The wheel feels to close to me. I'am sure a smaller wheel would help to!

Longhorn Man · 06-27-2010, 04:19 PM

stock tilt puts the wheel at the same location. With a couple small mods, you can place it closer to the dash.

C10 King are any of those in the picture you posted shortend columns? I would like to have the wheel a little further away from me.

The wheel I have on there now is a stock one, not sure of the size but would also like to switch to smaller wheel.

Just dont want to have the column to short either and to feel stretched out while driving either.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I took the black one back to Kevin and had him sink it in, after I seen him do it to a friend of ours. I will take a picture and post it later today. It's really more comfortable this way, the cab feels so much bigger. It's amazing what a difference a inch to two inches can make.

Okay, here you go, one sunken column, one Camaro wheel, one Raider thong, two Yosemite Sam floor mats and one "Martinez super service" hat, Also I forgot to mention the Budweiser neckless. Look at all room in the cab,I'm very comfortable and I have short arms. Good luck.

Vandals909 · 06-29-2010, 02:15 AM

C10/King how many inches was the one pictured shortened?

If it ends up feeling to short can I still make it longer later?

3" and Yes you can adj. where you feel best.

Hi Kev,

I have a factory tilt in a '72 Highlander. The truck has a 350/350 combination and I want to install a '99 LS1 with a 4L60E trans. Can you rebuild the column to handle this and shorten it about 1.5" ? Would your rebuild include lighted indicator, etc.? Also, can you give a price for this?

I tried to P/M you but guess it didn't work.

Thanks
