i had a 65' years ago that came with all the parts to rebuild the column. that was the reason they parked it and i was able to buy it.had to crawl under it put it in 2nd gear drive it home that way and upon my arrival home proceeded to tear the thing out and apart. what a pain in the [censored]! i really wish i would have had a digital camera back then but after 2 weeks of messing with it i achieved success. if you can locate a parts column before you start do it and be ready to fab some new parts because it sounds like some parts are worn out. good luck!
