I guess it's also worth asking whether GM made their steering colums different between the models or even between the years... ie: is the '54 steering column different than the '53 or the '56? I had a mechanic who replaced the steering column for me years ago. Could he have used the wrong one and that's what's causing this problem with things fitting properly?


My mechanic calls it an oil leak... I call it my truck's 'self-lubricating chassis' feature.
