As far as the column, some of the older columns (non-tilt) did have some built in detents. The tilt column in my 68 is factory if you want to try it out sometime, :D.



Mike - you just have to keep playing with it, it takes time and patience to do. I spent about 2 hrs yesterday messing with one and got it close, but it still needs some more adjusting. If you have someone to help you, it goes a lot quicker....

One other thing I forgot to mention, depending on where you engine is located in your truck, you may need to order a longer shift rod from LOKAR. I had to use a long one on all three of my trucks and they are all positioned in the truck differently and have different transmissions.
Here's a good video on how to set it up: 1972 K25 - Lokar Shift Linkage Part 2 - YouTube

No matter as I like the tucked look they have, just need to get the front tucked too. :metal: My current spindles are not the modular style but I will be swapping to 63-70 drop spindles to better work with the rack n pinion in my PB kit so I will certainly have them when it's done and on coil overs. :)

I would definitely add the CPP Modular spindles since you are swapping to the 63-70 version.
Looks like part # CP30106-2.

Thanks, I was thinking of using AMD myself. I just bought a '69, need rockers, inner fenders and some patch panels.
