XV Motorsports has a column for the b's. Just get that, and cut off the tabs they have for the mounting bracket and it will work for your car. I did this for my 64 dodge, and it worked out pefectly. It will sit out alittle further cause of the tilt feature so make sure you sit in the seat before "locking it down".

Also you will need to get 2 universal joints "I got mine from flaming river". The first one will be for the box "splines" with a 3/4 inch round hole on the end. The other "on the steering shaft" will be 3/4 round hole and 1 inch double d.

Mount the column, mount the universal on the box, and mount the other universal on the column shaft. Measure the distance between the 2 joints, cut a piece of 3/4 round and put it together. Then mark the holes on the double d shaft and drill a dimple, these are for the set screws. The 3/4 inch round will need a 5/16 roll pin on each end to make the connection.

The firewall mount is something you will need to come up with as the factoryone wont work. I was able to use the mounting plate, but had to come up with something to support the end of the column tube. Hotrod shops will become your best friend when looking for that part. Let me know if ya need more help, and Ill see about posting some pics of what I did.
