gm steering column wire harness cover
I am using a 80's standard gm steering column in my 58 pu. Does anyone make something to cover the ignition switch and wire harness ? Looks really ugly.

Re: gm steering column wire harness cover
You would think after all these years somebody would have made a fiberglass mold considering most people use the same column?

Re: gm steering column wire harness cover
I just checked their site. They did make a mold for Gm columns. Looks like they are out of Business.

Re: gm steering column wire harness cover
I modified a piece of 4" thin wall pvc pipe and upolstered it. I made a piece to cover the exposed part above the dash and below the tilt mech. The details in my thread start here:

Re: gm steering column wire harness cover
You can go to a carpet store and get a carpet tube to start with, mock it up to fit and cover with whatever.

Re: gm steering column wire harness cover
Speedway one looks pretty good. Has anyone ever seen one installed? Looks like you have to remove the stock gm cover?
