JCade:
Welcome the the stovebolt from Overland Park, KS. There are factory automatic steering columns and linkage assemblies available on eBay. I have bought a couple there for a few of my '64-'66 Chevy trucks. Post your topic in the Swap Meet Section under Truck Parts Wanted and you will get some replies. As a new poster, you want to observe the posting rules or you go directly to jail without passing GO.
