Re: Vern E

Hey Vern, I noticed this is your first post, welcome. You might want to edit your title to something like "custom steering column length?" or similar. (not saying that Vern isn't the most interesting name or anything). Just a suggestion. Sorry no info for you on the column.

Welcome to the board Vern! I edited your title to reflect your question, and hopefully someone will chime in with some help for you.

Re: Vern E- New member with steering column question

I bought a 33 inch,mainly because I have some BELLY between me and the column. If it ends up being to short I'll buy a dished wheel
