Re: '68 to '72 column swap
Well....after pulling my '68 and the '72 apart...the '68 body is finally on the '72 chassis and the truck is up and running now, with some of the electrical working. I need to finish installing the front clip and the interior and then its coming home!
Its not the cost of a conversion harness but time I'm fighting to get the truck home. Its my driver and since my Z isn't licensed/inspected/ins...I'm anxious to get it back home. So...rather then waiting through another weekend (I plan on having it home before the end of the week) I am considering using the connector off the old '68 3sp column to wire up and replace the van connector, so I can plug into the '68 interior harness. It looks like its a straight through pin-out, any reason I can't make my own? And who knows, maybe I can even take a connector apart and feed the wires into the other connector type?
I realize there is value in the '68 steering wheel....but is there much value in the non-tilt 3sp column or the non-tilt auto van column? I'll be replacing it with a non shifting tilt column anyway in a few years when I finish the '68 chassis's rebuild and join it back with its freshly repainted '68 body.
