Bent steering column?

:iagree: I even put an aftermarket smaller diameter steering wheel in my '72 and it was not very much above my thighs. Ended up buying a tilt-tele column, rebuilding it, and installing it - much better now! I also thought about a tilt column, it seems like the best solution. Yeh, I did also, not much of a fan of bus driver wheels in a vette.... one of the very first things I did, in fact....later shark wheel.... :thumbs:

Unfortunately there are no original equipment tilt or T&T steering columns for the 1968 Vette. 1969 had a T&T column option but it was a basic new design and won't retrofit to a 1968. And as you might be aware, I am not a fan of aftermarket steering columns.

I did not know a later year T&T column would not fit and I will not use an aftermarket one.

What would you suggest?

I don't want to change the steering wheel but I will if that is all I can do.
