well if you have a stock sterring wheel you could swap it out for a aftermarket one. those stock ones are pretty big, my Grant sterring wheel is a lot smaller.
that would probably give you a little more leg room without much modification.

mazda had a tilt wheel sort of. It's more of a clamp tilt. From what I remember it sits in the stock position and can be lowered by releasing a lever under the steering wheel. I've seen them on car-part.com. Last time I looked there were several available.

I dont know if this would apply to the custom mini truck world, but I know people with custom VW's and hot rods will use a Tilt GM steering coloum and have it shortened or lengthened depending on what you need. You might also want to check out a company called "flamming River". I might be wrong, and I am not saying I have done this, I just know hot rodders use GM tilt systems.
