Steering Column Swap Question
« on: September 03, 2006 - 06:26:45 PM »
I'd like to put a 4 or 5-speed in my 70 Cuda that currently has column shift.  Should I just buy a complete 4-speed column, or can I just buy a few parts for the conversion?

you really just need the 2 collars to convert the column inside the car , you will still have the tube & lever in the engine bay though
the 70 had an interlock lever with the column as well so it would not look wrong
