20 yrs ago i had a 70 with 3spd the column broke so i had 2nd and third on column, for a while i drove it by rotating column under hood. to get reverse that got old fast so i drilled a hole in the floor and put a rod to the tranny. had 1st and rev on floor 2nd and 3rd on column. i left the keys in it and in reverse i figured if they could drive it they could have it
