Re: 78 C-10 how to shorten steering column??

Have you thought about changing out the seats? My '90 burban had the factory bench seat in it with factory whel and no tilt. Steering wheel was in my belly all the time as well even with the seat all the way back(I'm 5'10" & 320#) put in a Grant wheel w/quick disconnect, still in my belly but not as bad. then I found a set of custom bucket seats with center console/jump seat, got them installed and now I have about a 3 inch gap between wheel and belly. Little more head room too and the seat isn't even back all the way either
