" Eddie Stakes " ----- Original Message ----- " From: Gary L. Kirk <glkirkbuilders@xxxxxxx> " " " Hi Eddie, " Im going to upgrade my steering column to one that is collapsable (for " safety) Its a 65 American. I would maybe even consider a tilt. Do you have " anything, how much and how much to ship to Va Beach? " Thanks, Gary Kirk 757 651-4513 most anytime " Also, I need some good outside door handles i'd suggest a '67-9 american column. it has a completely different electrical connector but should otherwise be a bolt-in. btw it also has 4-way flashers. you'll also want to replace the steering box for one that has a coupler instead of the spear-o'-death, but that can be any pre-'75 saginaw. [after the mid '70s ps became so common the manual box mounting was changed to match. you could hunt up an american ps adapter plate but why bother?] for completeness i mention the saginaw #605 ps used on chevy vegas also has the old-style manual gear mounting. it is much favored by the '55 chevy crowd and that ilk. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
