55-'56-'57 Chevy Floor Mount

The 55-'56-'57 Chevy floor mount steering column bracket from IDIDIT is the foundation piece every classic Chevy restomod builder needs when modernizing a first-generation Chevrolet's steering system. Whether you're upgrading from the original column to an aftermarket unit or installing a completely custom setup, this floor mount bracket anchors your steering column securely to the vehicle's floor pan. As someone who has spent countless hours fabricating and installing steering columns in vintage iron, I can tell you this bracket eliminates the guesswork—it's engineered specifically for the 1955, 1956, and 1957 Chevy fullsize car platform.

This bracket accepts a 2-inch diameter tube, the industry standard for modern steering column installations, and is fabricated from steel with a durable black paint finish that resists corrosion and blends seamlessly into underbody work. The floor mount design distributes steering loads directly through the chassis rather than relying on dash panel support, which improves column rigidity and feedback—critical when you're running a manual rack or quick-ratio power steering system. At just 0.48 pounds and compact dimensionally (4.85 x 1.95 x 8.25 inches), it's designed for clean fitment without interfering with floor pans, transmission tunnels, or brake/clutch pedal clusters typical of the '55–'57 Chevy lineup.

Restoration shops, hot rod builders, and street machine enthusiasts benefit most from this bracket when undertaking full steering system overhauls on early Chevrolets. Installation requires basic welding skills and careful positioning to align with your specific column angle and shifter layout—IDIDIT's engineering ensures fitment on unmodified 1955–1957 Chevy fullsize cars, though slight fabrication may be needed on heavily custom chassis. This bracket pairs perfectly with modern collapsible steering shafts, aftermarket columns, and both manual and power steering conversions, making it an essential anchor point for any serious restoration or performance build.
