If you want to have a column shifter, I suggest the Chevrolet/GMC van column with tilt. I use them in all 32 Ford builds. I do not like the shifter in the floor ... I am a big guy and the column shifter makes more room in the floor.





The Chevrolet/GMC van tilt meets all of the requirements I have for a Hot Rod column.

1) tilt
2) turn signals
3) shifter on the column
4) small ... with NO key
5) neutral start switch
6) shift indicator ( P R N D L2 L1 )

On the firewall side ... the column has splines that most every steering joint company makes joint to fit it.
And it uses a standard Chevrolet spline in the steering wheel so there are LOTS of aftermarket steering wheels to choose from ( and the horn work )
