Default 29 steering column support

I saw on an earlier post the use of a modified 30-31 support on a 29 steering column. Any other ideas as to how to support the 29 column to keep it from cracking the solder on the lower support.

A friend of mine used a con rod, same principle as the 31 steering column support.

You may be able to adapt a generic "Hot Rod" type bracket such as those available here: https://www.jegs.com/p/Ididit/ididit...iAAEgKh0PD_BwE

This is not pretty but it is effective and sturdy.

Probably was done before we bought the truck in 1962.

This picture was taken 5 years ago, nearly everything in the background has been replaced, including the 4 speed transmission.
