Bolt-In Steering Column Swap - Full Tilt

Following on from last month's "Try Chevys" article, we figured we'd show you an example of just how well the aftermarket accommodates the '49-54 Chevy. The folks at Walton Fabrication already offer rear leaf spring kits, firewall-mount power pedal assemblies, and engine and trans mounts, and their latest offering-a bolt-in kit comprising a modified ididit tilt steering column, universal joints, and double-D shaft-is the perfect complement to the Total Cost Involved IFS they also offer for these cars.

Of course, this installation assumes you have already fitted an IFS in your Chevy, but, with that done, bolting in the column will take less time than prepping and painting it to match your car! Plus, you'll enjoy the benefits of a tilt column, smoother shifter operation (assuming you opt for a new column so equipped), and whatever steering wheel takes your fancy.
