Steering Column Rebuild

Looking good! Was there a question there somewhere? I don't think I would have pressed the pin out of the center shaft unless it was bad but if you get it back like it was originally, I guess it will be alright. The lower column seal is available as a reproduction part. I got one from an auto swap meet. You state that it's a floor shift column but then mention your shift lever was corroded....maybe you mean the turn signal lever? The '67-up turn signal switches are different than the '66 and older ones but I think you can modify it a bit to use. If you want to keep from having to modify your dash harness, I have a used 10 pin plastic connector for the turn signal harness. Those wire bales that hold the boot tight are a pain! Trying to get them straight and then the correct shape to snap on tightly is the most time consuming part of the whole process. To add to the problem, the later coupler rebuild kits use a bale that is slightly different than the original '65 unit. It'll work but you have to tweak it a bit on the cleats.
