Included:

1. Flaming River 30in Tilt Steering Column

  • Description: Flaming River steering columns are our favored steering column vendor for their quality and design. The column is shorter in the cone section compared to competitors, measuring 7 inches from the steering wheel mount to the bottom of the cone, which is 2 inches shorter than other column options.
    Ours comes with a custom-welded bracket specifically designed to fit the 1978-79 Broncos.

  • Features:

    • Welded Bracket: Designed for perfect fit in 1978-79 Broncos, welded by us in our shop.
    • Available Options: Floor Shift or Column Shift
    • Available Options: Mill Stainless Finish (Paintable) or Black Cerakoted by our shop.
    • No Indicator
    • No Neutral Safety Switch
    • Increased Space: Shorter cone design allows the steering wheel to be positioned 2 inches further away from the driver, improving comfort and driving position.

    • Finish Customization: Bracket can be painted or coated to match or complement the truck’s interior (Mill Paintable Finish).

    • No Indicator Customization: Columns can be ordered without the factory indicator, which is redundant when using Dakota Digital gauges.

    • Design: Cleaner look by removing the indicator, which simplifies gauge alignment and provides a more streamlined appearance.

Essential for a clean and functional installation of the steering column, ensuring that the column is securely mounted.

2. 1978-79 Bronco Steering Column Floor Mount Adapter

  • Description: A 2-piece adapter designed to secure the steering column to the firewall, improving fit and stability and at the perfect angle for 1973-79 Ford Trucks.
