Tilt wheel in a 68 Ford truck??? Empty Tilt wheel in a 68 Ford truck???

Not sure if anyone can help me or not. I figured Jeff may know. What can I use to put a tilt wheel in a 68 Ford truck? The steering wheel is HUGE! I can't even raise my leg up to push down on the E brake without shoving my knee into the wheel. Do you think a Tilt-away from a T Bird would fit? It would be easy to put a smaller aftermarket wheel in it but I'd like to keep the stock wheel. It doesn't have power steering and the huge wheel is a plus due to that.

What I can't believe is the Parking brake works. Everyone of those trucks I ever had, but one, the cables were so rusted that if you put it on it would never release till you prized it loose. Evil or Very Mad

I was thinking about the 78/79 tilt column for my 66,they are kind of hard to find in the trucks but more common in the broncos.
