Steering column swap question

Can I swap a 71 automatic shift column into a 67 with a manual shift column?
my 67 and the 71 both had power steering. its non tilt I just don't want a shifter on the floor.
Last question , will I have to use the ignition on the column?
thanks a bunch and happy holidays

71 didn't have the key on the column. Not until 73. Manual shift needs manual column.

Re: Steering column swap question

okay thanks I really didn't pay attention to it. I thought it did. I want a auto column because I am putting in a 700r4 and removing the 4 speed
thanks for the info

Re: Steering column swap question

Should work just fine then. Check out Shiftworks for linkage and gear indicator.
