Looking for some knowledgeable assistance out there.
I am looking to swap my existing auto column in my 71 swepty to a 3 speed column which I intend to modify to a 5 speed column the information i am looking for is
1. does anybody have any diagrams drawings of the 69-71 3 speed column to show the workings so I can decide whether it is worth trying with this?
2. the 68 and earlier 3 speed column looks simpler to make work for 5 speed with the rod above the actual column. my questions in respect of going with this column are:
2.1 What is involved with installing this in a 71?
2.2 Does the 68 and earlier column have the 2 bolt plate that mounts to the floor plate like the 71
2.3 What is the diameter of the column tube ( in theory I could cut and weld to the 71 lower)
2.4 is the inner steering shaft the same length as the 69-71 or what length is it
Unfortunately due to my locale it's not that easy to find another one to go look at to take any measurements or view
thanks in advance for any info that you may have.
Cheers
Andrew
