    steering colume installation at assembly plant???

    Anybody know how it was installed? The photos in Nolans book shows the body fitted to the chasis but the inner fender prevents the colume from sliding. I have to get mine out at body lift but not sure how it will work. Any help would gteatly appreciated!!

    The steering gear/column assembly was installed in the body, with the seal plate at the dash loose, prior to Body Drop; after Body Drop, the gear was positioned against the outside of the frame, shimmed to center the column in the hole in the instrument panel, secured to the frame, and the dash seal plate was attached last.

    Just reverse the process for body lift.
