Re: 67 c10 collapsable steering shaft
Are you talking about the intermediate shaft? The way mine works is it is D shaped and is held together in one place with thermal plastic bond. You can see two small holes with a yellowish plastic inside. If you drill these holes out the shaft will slide apart and yes you can pull it fully apart but the bond is ruined. Not sure how big a deal that is but my understanding is that plastic bond is made to give way in an accident(collapsable).

If you're going to that much trouble and are a "Full Figured Guy" like some of us,there is a write up on how to get a couple more inches of room between the seat and wheel.It's a nice mod since you'll be in there anyway.
