59 Apache, installing a 93 S10 Steering column

[ScottRussell]

Hey gang,

Anyone have the wiring diagrams for a 93 Chevy S10 Blazer. I am installing the steering column in my 59. pictures to follow.
I need to know what color wires go to what.

Ignition
Horn
Blinkers
Hazards
High Beam
wipers
etc.


Thanks,
Scott

Can you tell me which lenght the column must be to make a healthy conversion for my 58 apache.
I can buy one from a 89 chevy Van.
It measured 30" from under steering wheel till the lowest bearing.
I had a feel it's a little to short.
But not having to much room for the borgesons,I thought: short is oke.
But "to short" will make it worthless.
I allready read the whole thread.(no measurement)
Made me Dizzy!
WOW! Great Truck!!!

I think I first start with the power steering conversion

Thanks

TruckTony,
First thing you must rmember, in my Build I have an '86 Monte Carlo Chassis that hte truck body is on with the original 86 stock power steering box.
The column I used is from a 93 S-10 Blazer. All measurements are from where the top lip of the column meets the turning part of the bottom of the steereing wheel, base the measurments are as follows:

[ScottRussell]

Wheel to upper mouniting bolt holes.s 12 5/8 to 13 5/8.
Wheel to base floor mount plate. 28 1/2.
Base to end of coumn 32"
Base to end of coulmn with extention with u joint.

Thanks for your fast reply
I took the same measurments because there was no steering wheel on the column.
I came up with 30"to the lower bearing where the shaft comes out.
Measuring on my truck. That's the same lenght that I have inside on the original column/shaft.
I thought: lowering it 2" would not be a "Belly" problem as I would have tilt on the column.
I will give it a more "towards" stance and try to make the original steering wheel fit.
I have grant on the attic somewhere.
So I have a couple of options there.
What do you think?
Shall I go for it.
I only have to pay 50 euros for the complete column.
Thanks

What the heck is 50 Euros is that some new currency in LA?

Rude Dude, that was good!

[ScottRussell]

My column works perfect.
Seems like very similar measurments.
I'd go for it.

Thanks scottrussel

I'll go for it
