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.

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

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.

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