Auto column. One piece or two? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

shawno72 · 01-02-2012, 10:30 PM

I currently have a 292 with a four on the floor. I am planning on installing a 700r4 in the next month or two. I have everything worked out as far as the swap is concerned, right down to the auto column. My question is that it appears that the column is one piece all the way down to the rag joint. On my 72 with an auto it could be separated just past the linkage mounting point. Later on I plan to install power steering, will this same auto column still work for power steering? Is this a one piece column? How hard will it be to swap columns, the column is pretty long and I hope there is enough room in the cab.

that is a 67 or 68 column and will work with power steering, and yes it is a 1 piece shaft inside. it will clear coming out. but it might make you say a few choice words first

Thank you Livrat. I can rest easy now. Is there any demand for non automatic 67-68 columns?

Your welcome,
I am sure someone out there needs one, I sell everyone I have at swap meets, mostly to guys building some sort of hotrod/streetrod

Cool that's more than I paid for the auto column which was nothing.
