Upper Steering Column Bearing
No 4 on the tree. Easy to convert 3 on the tree to floor shift. Gut column and leave the bearing intact at both ends. Cut off column shifter nub off upper collar. File the collar concave where you cut the nub off, and thoroughly clean the grease out of it. Then fill the hole from the column shifter with JBweld. File it smooth , body work it and prime and paint. Here is my 67 3 on the tree column I made into a floor shift column. I also welded a cover on the lower tube where the shifter ears come out after I removed them. Some just make a thin sheetmetal cover.
