Re: Power Brakes, What have you guys used?
I’ve thought about replacing my steering wheel with an original 47-53. I have an old one that would need restoring. Wouldn’t be too difficult. The problem with an original wheel is that it’s so big, 18 inches diameter. My truck has a subframe and modern power steering so don’t need a big wheel. There are places that rebuild wheels to smaller diameters but would be expensive.
I thought about replacing my column with an original and add one of those chrome bolt on turn signal switches - look cool, kinda like the 50’s. So I bought an original coe column (no column shift) and switch kit but never did anything with it. I’d have to modify the column to connect with my subframe power steering gear but that wouldn’t be difficult. Someday I’ll just bolt the turn signal switch on the old column, put the old wheel on it, and hang it from the ceiling in my garage.
I do like the idea of a tilt column as long as it’s not one of those fat ones. It’s my truck and I’ll do what I want with it. Right?
