I want to be able to restore it to its original "slope" but I cant because it would drop below the level of the steering gear. also they stripped the threads where the wheel bolts on. If I can use a different column, I'd want to be able to bolt on the original wheel to maintain the stock appearance. It has a 302 in it but I'd like to maintain the body and interior p
pretty much stock. I,d sure appreciate any advise I can get. Thanks, fairlaneguy |
would putting in a steering ujoint fix your problem? what column is used now, the original 55?
