I'm back with motivation this year to get the truck done. Was waiting on son to graduate from H.S. and buy my new 2012 Road Glide Custom before I started back on the truck. Got the steering column install Idiot column fit perfect the gear display will be in the new gauges no indicator on top of column sweet....also ordered firewall booster from CCP that is made for the truck installation easy and fit nicely.. will mount ECM for the LT-1 on top of the brake bracket to dash was wondering were to mount and will fit nice on top and hidden. got just alittle more body work to the door jams and sunday taking off cab off and getting primer shot on it getting it ready for paint.. going with Hot Rod Flatz satin black also order the rest of the air ride system compressor/computer/valves/plumbling.. also the two wiring harness American wiring for the truck chasis and the engine harness from LT-1 harness.com... also getting the duramat for insulating the cab and doors, brake lines, fuel lines and the surpentine brackets and power steering pump/alternator/compressor for the engine. This baby is gonna talk to me by the end of summer....

nice work on the steering column.
there was a guy with different manifolds that was having trouble with his steering shaft the other day.
yours looks simple and effective

the only thing i would suggest is to put on your wheel and seat in to see if you need a shorter column drop
