Re: Column swap?????
on my 62 I made a new strap that bolts the column forward to two other dash bolts and allows the mounting for the e brake to be removed without messing with the column, the ts wiring was different on my 62 , the colors matched but they used different positions for the colors so I had to trace back each wire, I used the stock 71-72 rag joint and just collapsed the column to get the length right

Re: Column swap?????
Take a look here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=291299
There are several links to posts on this subject. I could not find a column swap info in the 60 -66 FAQ. I couldn't find a section in the 67-72. In one of the posts, Tx firefighter says in put in an FAQ?
