Re: '52 Pickup Steering Column Question

I used the 82 Eldo mounting bracket and a muffler U bolt for the top, yours might be similar. For the bottom I made a plate to fit the floor pan recess and after getting the column where I wanted it spot welded the column to it. Make sure you have the final seat location set, I ended up lowering mine when I made an adjustment to the seat later on, but I had allowed extra length in the u bolt so all was good. I made a cover to cover the column under the dash. Details are in my build thread.
