I want to get rid of my original '74 CJ5 steering column most for comfort issues. After a full day of wheeling I feel cramped and stiff due to positions of the steering wheel and gas pedal. - gas pedal is easy enough to relocate a bit. (Having the extra room of a CJ7 sometimes is tempting)
The ''72-75 steering column seems to stick out into the drivers belly more than the later '76+ columns. Also, the angles at which the column comes through the firewall seem different. If there is a big enough difference I would like to swap in a tilt from a later '76+ model CJ. If I am going to go through the process of swaping steering column/etc I would prefer to go tilt and do it right. It looks like Flaming River makes a decent column but way too expensive....
Has anyone done this? What else is needed to swap - pedal hanger/brackets/etc?
Does anyone have a TILT column for sale?
