I've an article on rebuilding the columns - but since you've located another - with keys hopefully - you'll be back in business. You can get a rattle can made up of the interior color & spray the new column before installing. No sense in half assing the job . Too bad your opinion of Gremlins is so low . Not many are left and they are an a American Classic in their own right. As to MoPars - I had a '57 Fury that was great . Those Chargers - I used to visit the MoPar dealer & sit in their Silver '67 383 on the showroom floor. Incredible interiors . These days - I've a '66GTO 'vert along with my '81 Kammback / Gremlin 4x4 . I prefer the Kammback as it is more of a Sports Car & much smaller . I"ll keep both & restore the Goat. The Kammback is being upgraded to a full house stroked 4.0 & Turboed . Brien.
