62 steering column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The 60-62 columns use a separate intermediate shaft from the steering gear to the bottom of the column near the firewall. The 63 to 66 columns use a single, solid shaft from steering gear to wheel.

That isn't the only difference either. There's some differences in turn signal parts and some other small differences. Lugnutz's guide for the 63 might still be helpful in the general process.

If your turn signal switch still works, but the cancelling cam is broken, I would just replace the cancelling cam and continue using the original switch. That's what I did on my 63
