1948-52 Steering Column Kit (Steering Column, Column Drop and Floor Mount)

Everything between your hands and the box; in one order. Swapping an F-1 to a modern column usually turns into three purchases and two brackets you make yourself. This kit ends that. A 30 inch Flaming River tilt column in 304 stainless with a 2 inch tube; a billet aluminum column drop in your choice of 3.5 inch or 4.5 inch; and a swivel floor mount cut specifically for the 1948-52 F-1 floor. Pick floor shift or column shift; then mill stainless to paint; black powdercoat or polished stainless. The column comes with the billet dress up kit - tilt and turn signal levers and the hazard knob - GM wiring on the 4-1/4 inch connector; canceling cam and a DD output shaft. There is no top indicator on this column; that is deliberate. Your Dakota Digital cluster stays visible instead of hiding behind a shift quadrant.

  • Column; drop and floor mount together - the three parts that never quite match when bought separately.
  • Tilt on a 304 stainless column - 2 inch tube; compact shroud; built to be seen or painted.
  • Two drop lengths - 3.5 inch or 4.5 inch sets the wheel angle where you want it.
  • No top indicator - the dash stays clear for modern gauges like Dakota Digital.
  • GM wiring pattern - the 4-1/4 inch connector plugs into what most aftermarket harnesses already speak.
  • Floor mount cut for the F-1 - a swivel mount made for this floor rather than adapted to it.

Install Level: Intermediate - column swap; floor mount fitting and steering shaft alignment

Column is non keyed; an ignition switch is mounted elsewhere.
No neutral safety switch is included; the FFG Gear Shift Sender Kit adds one for an automatic transmission.
No top indicator; the column will not obstruct modern aftermarket gauges.
Mill Stainless is supplied paintable; polished and black powdercoat are finished.
