Brian,

Here's an older photo of a GM tilt column in my A-bone. As I remember, I picked up a column from a floorshift car. I removed the big, herky GM mounting bracket, then made my own from sheet stock. Since I didn't cut out the tank, I just bolted it there. It would have been just as easy to bolt it to a 3/4" square tube crossmember, but it wasn't necessary on this one. The bottom bracket is a piece of sheet with a roller bearing attached to it. I believe I bought that piece, but I couldn't guarantee it. I covered the "uglies" from the bracket down by wrapping with carpet, but a proper sized piece of steel tube would work too. Kinda primative, but that was almost 20 years ago.
