Can a guy take the manual shaft from his column shift column and put it in a console column that was set up for power steering? 1967/1968 and the reason I ask is I am going to convert my manual box fish with the column shift to a console column that came outta a power steering car. I know about the $125 adapter already.

Not trying to jack your thread and GL with the sale.
 
I changed the manual shaft, to a power steering shaft, in a floor shift columm. I don't see why you couldn't interchange it with a column shift shaft. As long as the snap ring groove is in the same location, it should work.
 
I just finished swapping a
'70 225 Dart power steering shaft out.
'74 Duster 318 manual steering shaft in. (I don't think engine size matters)
I kept the complete housings original to the cars, only swapped the shafts and gear boxes. I will note that the '74 steering wheel lock ring drift pin has to be used with the '74 shaft and vise-a-versa. The only issue I had was the '74 has a lower bearing and preload spring w/ring that the '70 column would not accept. It is working fine with no slop in the steering column.
I hope this was helpful. ricky :banghead:
 
Ernie B, I may need your manual gear box and shaft. Did you keep the clips and steering wheel lock ring pin? Is the gear box still tight?

The box is tight, All I have is the box with pitman arm, and shaft.
You can use all clips from your p/s column, everything is the same.
