Is it possble to adjust the steering column ritght or left? I have an 88' blazer and I would like to move it to the right a little if it's at all possible. With out major rebuild.

You mean not make the steering wheel "centered" when the truck is driving straight, you actually want the steering column moved right or left as you are looking at the steering wheel while sitting in the seat?Theoretically it's probably possible, there is almost no side to side movement built into it since the last mounting point is at about the halfway point form the firewall to the sttering wheel. Without cutting and what not, I doubt you'd get more than maybe 1/8" at the wheel.
 
Well that's what I thought. 1/8 won't do much for me. If I could go 1/2 or more I'd like to try but I geuss maybe I have to get used to were it is. Thanks

Well, see what anyone else thinks, but from having mine in and out for awhile, the mounting points just don't have much adjustment built into them, and at least for the column to dash, they are "reinforced" and you couldn't cut much out of that at all, even if you did want to do the work.
 
I use a wheelchair and this truck is equipped with a lift to put me in behind the steering wheel. To drive it more comfortable I'd like the steering wheel towards my right side. I have the same setup on my 02 yukon and the difference in the steering wheel location is quit a bit. Just like to get them closer to the same. Just personal comfort.:D
