I have not heard of a steering column from a car being used--always the pickup column. But there are a lot better choices out there for steering columns. Unless your are going for a real nostalgia look or period correct hot rod, I would go for a modern column. I have driven a buddies coupe that has an F1 column, and I think it steers hard. There are ones that look old but are all new. Check out www.tri-cengineering.com and check out their nostalgia tilt column. They are pricey, but very cool looking. I used a raw steel Ididit column for my deuce, and I like it. And it did not cost and arm and a leg either.
