ididit Retrofit Steering Column: Tri-Five Chevy User Manual
Page 10
Note: Cut approximately 6” up from
the box, a second cut will be necessary.
Install the column after you cut the
shaft so both shafts are touching. If
you need to cut the steering box shaft to
move the column in more, cut it again
and recheck. Install any dash pieces
before cutting. After cutting to the
perfect length grind the shaft to a DD
to fit the coupler. (See “Synchronizing
Your Column” on page 5.)
The coupler is pre-welded the 1” DD side to
go on the column, two flat sides ground onto
stock 3/4” shaft (coming out of gear box) to
make it 3/4” DD to fit into other side of coupler
3/4” DD x 1” DD coupler, this coupler will be held to the column
with two set screws, installed at a 90° angle to each other.
