Re: steering colume conversion

I did that, but i didn’t post any pics or what i did. You have to pretty much disassemble the column to do it. Mine came to me as a late 70’s early 80’s floor shift pickup column. I searched youtube for how to get it apart. Once apart i gutted the steering lock out of it until i had just the external upper cup all by its self. Mine was aluminum so i found a piece of round aluminum shaft and cut it down til it filled the hole in the cup and JB Welded it in. Some careful grinding and sanding a bit of body putty and primer. While i had it apart i replaced both the upper and lower bearings and put lock tight on the knuckle screws so they would stay in. Sorry i didnt take any pics of it during the process.
