You could, but I ain't buyin' it Uncle Bob.


O.K.....O.K. ..... It's purple if you say so.

Hey.................................I learned it from Pops...........

Just one question if i go with column how and where do you find the linkage that would work ? I am running a turbo 350 trans. Does the shifting lever slide off ? Just wondering when i drill the hole for the column.

Just make a piece to move the shifter lever over to the right side. I then used a Lokar shift linkage kit.



I also have just gotten some heim ends and a lenght of stainless rod and made one. Easy to do. ALSO ... if you find a van column still in the van ... the original rod can be bent, modified and made to work with very little effort. I have done it that way also.

I have used the van column with Vega steering, Maval half racks and Mustang steering boxes.

I like my columns at a little more angle than Bob ...
mainly because I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and overweight.

Yes ... the shifter comes off easily. It is held on with a small pin that can be knocked from the bottom.
