column length

Generally when i do a column i use a short van coumn on trucks. if it is too long the angle is wrong and your tilt becomes ineffective.....that being said the difference is made up with your shaft and couplers. I try to keep as close to original angle as possible. there is a pic on my journal of a van column in a 47 chevy truck. I like between3-5 inches sticking out of firewall.
