S L I C K Trick converting to floor-shift steering column

I'm converting a column-shift to floor-shift in a Duster. A GREAT post from another site clued me in on this one... Instead of having to buy a complete A-body floor-shift steering column, you can go to a JY & it'll cost all of about $5.99. Get the pieces needed from a floor shifted RAM truck (my donor was an '81). All you need are the 2 pieces - one right behind the steering wheel and the one (collar) where the key goes.

Take a steering wheel puller & snap-ring pliers to the JY (along with PB Blaster & phillips screwdriver). A little work & 20 min later you have what you need to trash that column-shifter & gives you a s m o o t h, very pretty steering column .



I puilled them off on Friday, cleaned & painted them today, goin in the Duster tomorrow night.

Now I gotta find another donor for the scamp - that will get no console, but an R-154 5-speed....
