Thread: 32 Steering Column Length

Tweet

Home-made using a stock length 37" GM steering shaft.


37" seems to be a common size on GM no-tilts, especially the vans.

You can also cut the steering wheel arms off and with a little lathe turning or careful grinding use the hub for a three hole steering wheel adapter.
Even with the factory holes in the hub there is adequate room for three new holes tapped 1/4-20 for the steering wheel.

Good ergonomics as you can see, even with the 4" firewall recess.


In a 31 roadster on 32 rails, but cockpit sizes are virtually the same except that the 32 is 2" deeper vertically.

Good fit and mild U-joint angles . . . 455 Buick engine fwiw.

Take a look inside 60s to 70s era Ford vans and you'll see a column with side shift that is very similar to the 40-55 or so Ford columns.

Some Dodges have a similar column.
