What type of modes will I have to do, and is there a kit I can by to hook up the tranny linkage? Thanks.

You can get some chevy van columns that are the same but don't have the ignition on the column, that way you can put your key back in the dash, looks cool. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 175 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 175 | My 67 Malibu has a nice tilt column with shifter but no key. I always thought an identical one would look awesome in my '46.

He cut the shaft on the stock box about two inches from the box and used a borgenson U-joint to connect to the new column, It was a nice looking job. old navy 51.............. | | |
