Default Need help Corvette Steering Column

I have a 1975 C3 with the original Steering Column and wheel in it. Thinking about replaceing it with a up to date more modern looking column any suggestion or idea? This is my first vette.

Zambo,

Nothing in this area is impossible, hell, you could fit a Hyundai column if you really wanted to, but why?

Does your car have a fixed column? If so, you can source a tilt/tele column from a wrecked Vette of a similar year to yours. If you already have a T/T column, then what do you want that is "more modern?"

Do you want wiper/washer controls on the column? If so, then later Corvettes have this feature, IIRC. As far as "modern looking", there's not much of any steering column that one can actually see, so what are you after?

Tell us exactly what you want, and we will help you.

Regards from Down Under.
