Re: 1970 Steering column in a 66'
Working on that very project right now ('71 auto non-tilt column in a '65)...I'll let you know what all it took once it's actually functional.

Re: 1970 Steering column in a 66'
As it turns out, it really didn't take much to mount the later column. You can tack a couple of nuts in the tube at the dash mounting, use a couple of speed nuts, or even hose clamp it (between it and the lower clamp, the column shouldn't move around on you). Paired with the matching intermediate shaft, it's a simple swap.

Re: 1970 Steering column in a 66'
Like racecougar mentioned, if you have the column and intermediate shaft it is easy. I used a HD clamp to hold mine in against the lower column and no issues in 6+ months of driving it.

Take a look around this page. Lots of great ideas, at least one article with pics on something very similar to what you are wanting to do. |

Re: 1970 Steering column in a 66'
The wire colors match up with the 67=72. Between these I got everything working.
