I'm in the process of install my new steering column in my 51 Chevy 2-door. Have a Flamming river column with a 1" DD on it, and the Flamming river rack with 9/16 - 26 spline mounted on the Chassis Engineering IFS crossmember.

Thinking about a Double U-joint coming off the rack, to a 3/4" DD shaft, to a single U-joint 3/4" DD x 1"DD to the column.

There's not alot of room to get the steering set-up in this car because of the V-8 and the Block Hugger headers. If anybody has done one in a 48-52 Chevy car please tell me what you did?
