Images By CPP Stafftilt steering column is an accessory that once you’ve had one it’s hard to imagine living without it. Being able to adjust the position of the steering wheel when driving, not to mention the convenience of moving the wheel out of the way to exit and enter the vehicle, is obvious. What’s not always so obvious until it’s too late is that retrofitting a tilt steering column often moves the steering wheel far too close to the driver due to the added length of the tilt mechanism. This problem is particularly true when dealing with the less than commodious cabin of a 1967-72 Chevy or GMC pickup. Fortunately, for every problem there is a solution and in this case the solution is a shortened tilt steering column from Classic Performance Products (CPP).
CPP’s Classic Fit Shortened steering columns for 1967-72 GM trucks are made from stainless steel that will never rust. They are available in chrome or satin black powdercoat (which can be painted) with or without a column shifter. They feature a five-way tilt mechanism and are 1-1/2 inches shorter than typical tilt columns from the dashboard to the tip of the steering shaft, moving the steering wheel away from the driver for much-needed cab space.
Replacing the stock, fixed position steering column couldn’t be easier or more affordable. CPP’s steering columns are not only competitively priced they come with a lifetime guarantee. With the new column’s reduction in length, none of the valuable interior space is sacrificed when adding the tilt feature—proving yet again that less really can be more.
