Steering Column .

[slepysal]

There I got that out of the way.

My steering column was in need of replacement I could pull the steering wheel out about an inch and the horn would go off if you bumped the steering wheel.
So this weekend I installed the 70 something Van steering column that I bought from pick and pull about 7 years ago.I had purchased everything to install it, new grant wheel and install kit a 36/DD u joint and a used lower collapsible lower shaft that i had modified ( cut and collapsed ) I cleaned it up gave it a rattle can paint job and then the fun began.
Removing the old column was easy enough, the van column install was a challenge because no one around to help, but I got it buttoned up just as my brother in law showed up with some beer.
After a couple of cold ones I go to install the steering wheel only to find the install kit is missing some parts and the steering shaft 9/16" nut is no were to be found and the old one is 1/2". Ordered a new install kit and found a 9/16 castle nut at local parts house that fit fine.
Went to up load pictures only to find the SD card didn't format and lost all pictures. I will snap some when I get the install kit.
