Default tilt/tele wheel question

Does the tilt/tele wheel sit any closer to the dash then the standard wheel? I was hoping my wife could drive the 74 as i don't want her driving the 66 when its done. But she is short i think like 5'2" and it is hard for her to push the clutch in all the way. Was thinking about getting a tilt/tele anyway to make it easier for my wide load to get in but also wondered it it would let her get any closer to the pedals as well.

Umm...it telescopes - the steering wheel slides in and out to reach your preferred position when the locking ring is turned to the left. I can't say much, my dad owned the 77 I now have for about 10 years before we figured out the telescoping feature...

We just had no idea it was there. That's what we get for never reading the original owner's manual...
