[DeTomaso] Tilt Wheel

[Art Stephens]

Certainly an advantage to using a more modern and common column would be 
parts availability. I also preferred columns of the era when you pulled on 
the blinker lever to operate the high/low beams as opposed to the old and 
new push/pull designs.

Something with the tilt as well as telescoping would probably be best? One
of the guys on the list looked into having Flaming River make up a complete
column for a Pantera but I think it was going to be very expensive, though I
don't know how much? Darren Shockey installed a more modern column in his
Pantera, I don't remember what car it was from originally. IIRC, Darren said
it was a big job.  And last but not least, I did see a Chevy column in a car
years ago but I don't remember talking to the owner about it.

The Tilt Question...

I came across a old Flaming River catalog today. Now, I have always thought
I would like to have a Tilt Wheel in my Pantera! I know Mike Drew will chime
with something like, Tilt Wheels are for Old Guys and there Lincoln's. LOL
Each to there own.

I've seen a couple of Pantera's with a tilt, but never got to talk with the
owners about how much trouble it was be to install, or what they used?  So
anybody have any thoughts good or bad?
Things like, because of the tilt the column may stick to far in to the
cabin?
