Complete Steering Column Rebuild DIY

Here’s a link to my Full Steering Column Rebuild DIY.
I rebuilt my 1965 column several years ago but failed to take enough pictures.
I just finished rebuilding my 1963 manual transmission column. I documented every step and here are the results. There are too many pictures to post on this thread but you can see every step at this LINK.

Re: Complete Steering Column Rebuild DIY

Thank you so much!!!! That's something I need to do, but was kinda worried about getting everything back together once I get it apart. This is super helpful, and I'm not to worried about doing it now

Re: Complete Steering Column Rebuild DIY

Here’s a link for two more steering column DIY pages. I thought people should know how to remove a column from a truck as well as how to disassemble a column properly.

Here I show the steps for
1963 Chevy C10 Steering Column Removal.

Here’s the DIY I made for 1963 Chevy C10 Steering Column Disassembly.

Re: Complete Steering Column Rebuild DIY

Ah yes my luck, I just swapped my old column out last week. The 60's is a bit different but your write up would have helped me ! Nice job
