aftermarket steering comlumns?
« on: May 16, 2015 - 07:50:09 AM »
Not sure if this should go here but the reason I am looking for an aftermarket steering column is because I want to do a manual trans swap. And my current setup is a steering column shift auto. I don't like the idea of leaving the stock steering column there as it has the gear indicator on it.

Any thoughts?

Ididit makes a nice column but they are pricey at around $900. Why not a used OEM column for a from a floor shift car?

FWIW I despise having a GM key in a Mopar... Then theres the scabbed together wiring for the turn signals & Ignition.... There are plenty of original floor shift columns around & really all you need is the one collar that blanks out the shifter.... Keep looking... :2cents:   What car is this for, maybe someone can point you in the right direction...

Edit
If this is for your 74 this is probably what you need....

Though he is pretty proud of it & I'm sure I could find one for less... But still his is less than an aftermarket column & drops in....
