Title: Steering column length?
Post by: Bill04SD on July 12, 2014, 06:13:37 PM: I'm sort of building a jeep from parts and was wondering what the distance is from the steering wheel to the floor on a stock CJ3A, the angled section where the column and pedals are.ï¿½ I'mï¿½ ï¿½adding saginaw power steering so I can position the column where ever I want but wanted the stock measurement as a reference point.ï¿½ Thanks.

*Edit yep I get 29 inches from the floor
