It's all in and done and I took if for a 2 mile ride - with POWER STEERING! It shifts into gears better than ever with the S10 column. The tilt makes it much nicer getting in and out. The only issue that I see with using the S10 column is those trucks are made with the seating much lower in the cab of the pickup and the extra clearance gained when raising my steering all of the way up from "drive" position is about 3" - 3.5". This works great for me, but it's not as much clearance as the original tilts. I like my upgrade more, but hey, it's MINE! And to answer your other question, the steering wheel is about the same distance from the dash and seat as the original - within an half inch. I could have moved it a little closer or farther away if needed.
