Lets see what you know
« on: June 27, 2009 - 12:45:38 AM »
Ok, this may be a tuffy.

What are the differences in the steering columns for the 70-74 Barracudas? I am looking to purchase one for a 70 Barracuda, power steering, floor shift but I have been seeing different details in the listings so I dont know whats what here. HELP!

 I am no expert on steering columns and someone will probably jump on here and correct me but I believe the first and more obvious difference is 71-74 have the button depress to release the key I dont think 70 models had that
 I am sure other will chime in with more info

That's definitely the biggest difference.
