4wd conversion steering column question.

Post by grabberblue72 »

Is it possible to swap the steering column shaft in my 72 2wd column with a shaft from my 77 non tilt 4x4 column ?

they will connect to whatever you want.

You spec the spline count (or D or double flat) and they send you what you need.
