WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
Im not sure if they will all cross over, but I have a 66. I swapped to a floor shift column and my steering shaft is worn at the bottom where it goes in the column tube. Anyway...I need a new one....let me know what you have.

I have one from an auto column in good shape, if interested just LMK, can provide pics.

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
Mine measures 54"...does anyone know if there is a difference in lenght over the years or for an automatic verses and 3 speed?

ScottH 01-01-2011 05:12 PM

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
Just checked mine and its 54" in length also, some slight wear at bearing location but not much at all.

Tommy454 is coming up with 55.5 inches from his 63 and mine and SCOTTH is 54"

Tommy454 01-04-2011 10:16 PM

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
The difference could be the standard vs. automatic; although I am not sure why.

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
Anyone ever heard of cutting and "bondoing" a column shift to convert to a floor shift? If so how well does it work, what should I look out for? I want a tilt steering column for my 61' but it seems all the junk yards here in my town have 3 on the tree columns, yeah "wa wa". Thanks

Tommy454 01-05-2011 04:49 PM

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
You should be able to find a tilt column from a van up to 1978 I believe for a direct bolt in.

72freak 01-08-2011 06:44 AM

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
TOMMY454...your arrived yesterday...THANKS. Im going to wait till I get SCOTTH's and see what we have here and post my findings.

72freak 01-10-2011 08:52 AM

Re: WTB..60-66 steering column shaft
 
Im still hunting a correct length shaft....from what we have seen so far it looks like I need a 64-66 shaft. I do have one promissed but have not seen it yet so if anyone else has one please let me know...I need to get this truck back together and out of its stall!

Thanks

Have you thought about taking your old one to machine shop- having them weld and then turn down the wear spot?

My truck is a 66 c10 and it came with a 60s impala steering wheel and shaft. I had plans to do a underneath gas tank, but I've decided to go back to the behing the seat tank. I ws wondering since this impala wheel seems to be to close to me, when using a bench seat would an original steering wheel and shaft would be shorter? also could I use a different style seat in stead of the bench seat Thanks Jeff

Why don't you just adjust the position of the Impala column? Mine is from a '64 Impala.

i have a tilt column that i would swap even for a 65 column and wheel. its collapsible at the pump so you can adjust how close you want it in the cab.
i prefer my interior to look more oem.heres a pic if anyone is interested...
