I decided to swap out the original fixed steering column with a 1994 Jeep Cherokee tilt column.
This swap will allow a couple of things that I feel are needed, one is that I should be able to utilize the wiper switch, the "brights" switch, and the steering wheel lock. The second thing is that the tilt feature will give me the leg room needed to get in and out of the drivers seat easier and being 6' 3" tall the extra room is a big plus!
