Steering column sawp?
 
Can I swap a 3 speed on the column to a auto column from one truck to another without a lot of difficuty? I have a chance to get the auto column if I can just swap them out, I hope to get a auto trans later. I have a power steering box I want to use later also. I hope it can be done with changing only from the rag joint upward to the steerig wheel. Whata think?

The column swap is pretty easy and should bolt in. You need the linkage, and a bracket on the frame if I remember correctly to shift the auto trans.

The splined shaft may have a different diameter between the manual and power steering boxes.

You can get a new rag joint for $50-$60 though. Some people frown on the rebuild kits as well, but that isn't a factor in the steering box swap.

67 or early 67 frames didn't have dimples for the ps box, but the box can be shimmed, or the frame beat on...
