You know, it's the type that the column is attached directly to the steering gear. Neither the gear or the wheel will fit thru the hole in the firewall. HA! Thanx.

I took the wheel off to get mine out. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 | Pull the steering wheel, remove the pitman arm from the box, remove the bolts holding the box to the frame, and remove the box and column as a unit from underneath the truck. You'll have to jack the truck up fairly high, use good jackstands and BE SAFE!!! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 137 | Also, if it will help, you can separate the column from the gear box at the flange where it connects on top. That might give you a little more flexibility in getting it out from under the truck. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 4,983 | Better start learning to dismantle if you're planning on restoring the truck. If you look real close you'll be able to figure out how things come apart.

Get a SAWZall and cuy through the whole thing just above the box.That way you can hook up to late model steering.
