anyone have suggestions on what type of steering colum to put in a 49 chevy p/u?  I heard to use a 90's camaro, but this is my first build and I hoping to get some opinions.  Thanks

Take a look at Flamming River columns, I used a tilt column in my '53. Its works and looks great.

Old chevy vans will keep yer ignition switch on the dash, simplifying things.

I used a 76 Monte Carlo floor-shift tilt column, in my '49.
