MO WTB: Automatic steering column

[Backpayne]

Anyone have one for sale that would work in my '64? I have a th400 for a transmission.

Thanks!
Jeff

Hi Jeff, I have a really nice automatic column that I just acquired. It came out of a 65. I would have to have $300.00 plus shipping. The lower section of the steering shaft and rag joint are rusty, but the rest is very nice. I could send photos to you if you are interested. Thanks, Mike

I'll get back to you if I cannot find one less expensive. I know they are hard to find, so what I would like to spend may not be realistic.

I completely understand. This is the nicest one I've ever had. I will probably be posting it in the for sale forum soon.

For the turbo 400, you will need a auto column from a 1966 3/4 ton truck with 327 engine and turbo 400 trans. Only year turbo 400s were available in this series trucks. The column, frame bracket, levers are all unique to the turbo 400 in these year trucks, if you go factory. The correct 3 speed turbo 400 steering column is pretty rare and usually expensive.
Note: the turbo 400s have a straight shift lever at the bottom of the column, on power glides this lever is curved.

So I cannot make any automatic 3 speed column work with the th400? Wouldn't it just be the linkage that may need changed?

I have one that's in good condition I'll let gor for $250 plus shipping. It does need a new turn signal switch

I have one from a 69 here in Oregon, but shipping would kill the deal
