Re: Another New Guy
Casey - You probably already have this on a 1963 model, but I want to mention it so people will know. One very important safety feature is a collapsible steering column. I remember putting one of these into a 1960 GMC 1/2 ton pickup that my father had. A solid column rod will push the steering wheel into the driver in a front end collision, which is vey bad for the driver. We also added seat belts. I agree with GMCNUT about airbags, since an un-engineered system might push parts of a driver or passenger into places they shouldn't go. I am, however, thinking of installing shoulder belts if I can figure out how to secure them.
