Steering Column question

Post by fuzzier1 »

I have bought a Flaming River column and need the bracket to attach it to the bottom of the dash. My truck is not close by and I need the measurement for the center-to-center of the bolts for the bracket to the bottom of the dash. Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

3-15/16" to 4" center to center is my quick measurement on my 1970 F250.
