54 Chevy Truck Steering Issue
 
I've installed the Mustang 11 front suspension on my truck with manual rack. I have a 68 327 installed and have very little clearance for steering linkage. Does anyone have suggestions or photos that have completed set up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what I did on this '52 is move the steering column over a 1/2'' or so and centered the column between the gauges... hope this helps you..

Haven't decided what I see are the Sanderson Headers which are pretty costly. Looking for ideas so I know what to purchase

Look up Patriot tight tuck headers at Summit, come silver ceramic coated, free shipping part number H-8037-1 $282.00

I've used these a lot and they seem to work great.. they are the ones in the picture I posted.

you said It looks I had more room than you but the frame should be the same..
