ive heard they is a difference but im unsure, will it work for a power steering column to a manual steering box?

I think that you have to buy the adapter coupling - $125. I will be in the same boat when I replace my 3 on the tree column with one for a console shift.

Manual and power boxes have a different spline on them.

The couplers swap between columns, just have to have proper length column which is easily adjustable.

I didnt know you could adjust the length of the column...I'm going to have to figure that out! I'm going to be selling my manual column (circa 1972 Demon, floor shift), and buildiing a ps column/floor shift out of my parts that I have lying around.

So, the way it sounds, if you adjust the length of the column, and swap your power steering coupler for this coupler, than you really don't need to get an adapter. Sweet!

Correct. Takes a couple of nylon bolts from HD/Lowes/hardware store to accomplish.

It requires total disassembly of your column.

are the internals the same on manual and powere steering couplers? i may be interested in this if they are the same.

 

[metallidart]

I just did some research, it does look like the internals are the same. Both the power and manual couplers use the same rebuild kit. If you are interested, send me a pm, and I'll get it on the way to you! I'm glad crackedback gave me that info. Thanks!

You should not extend or collapse the factory steering column. It can weaken it and could be grounds for a legal issue in an accident and may come back on you

thanks for the info to all on this thread, however looking to see what it would take to extend column and what moparparts said im going to go another route, but good luck with sale and this is a good deal for someone
