One nice thing about owning the donor is free parts, My latest is the 1978 under dash which so far looks to fit right in other then the steering column lowering kit that I'm not so sure of anymore after hearing it lifts the intermediate shaft?
Are there great concerns of this?

Seven..
Lifts the shaft? I don't understand... I have a Column lowering kit in mine that I did at the same time I did the Mac Instrument panel.. It's one of the best driving modifications I have ever done.. It makes the driving position so much more comfortable I can't say enough..
I didn't notice any kind of "lifting" when I did it..

I agree it's the best update I've done for comfort as well But if you go look up front you can see the greasable steering shaft has moved up quite a bit. I just wonder if that could become a problem.
