In this video, I tackle one of the most critical steps in building my 1963 Chevy II Gasser — figuring out how to set up the steering system from the column to the Vega steering box. I’m using a Speedway Motors nostalgia steering column, Double-D steering shaft, and a set of u-joints to connect everything cleanly and safely on this straight-axle Gasser setup.
If you’re building a Gasser-style hot rod, classic Chevy II Nova, or just looking to understand how to properly mock up and align a custom steering system, this video walks through the exact process I used — from test fitting the steering column and bracket mount to determining the correct Double-D shaft length for perfect geometry and function.
Along the way, I’ll cover:
🔹 How to mount a Speedway nostalgia steering column in a Gasser build
🔹 How to measure and cut a Double-D steering shaft correctly
🔹 Tips for connecting the steering column to a Vega steering box
🔹 Common mistakes when aligning steering u-joints and angles
🔹 Why steering alignment is critical for safe straight-axle handling
This part of the Chevy II Gasser build series focuses on making the steering system reliable and true to old-school Gasser style. Whether you’re working on a Nova, Falcon, Willys, or any vintage drag-inspired hot rod, the principles are the same — proper mock-up, safe alignment, and functional design.
