VIN Rivets, Steering, Rants....

[FASTBACK340]

Just when I mentioned that I was enjoying assembliing my car that the B.S. starts....

Year 1 : Rear taillight harness on inter-gallatic backorder for 3 1/2 months now....

Tri-City: Ya'all *MIGHT* get yer bumper's back in June. Maybe July. I sent them out in April....

ProMax: We *just got your parts in* and they should be out today. I've heard this THREE WEEKS IN A ROW.

My Bodyshop: We've been swamped. I haven't had a chance to paint your header panel or valance yet. This is a month now....

TrimTags: Oh no... the VIN rivets aren't $13 a pair. They're $25...and they're un-painted. Just like Corvette rivets. No thanks....

Mancini's: Fan shroud is on back-order. We'll let you know when they show up.

TTI: Still waiting for them to drop-ship my entire exhaust system.

AND I STILL NEED A STEERING COLUMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I don't wanna say how much I eventually paid for a pair of VIN rivets....:blackeye:

I think you need a hug, go find a pretty lady and extract one from her.

I might have a 67 steering column. Would that work?

That's great! Let me know if you have one! It *should* be the same. It's just the pre-67's that are different.

PLEASE

This one came out of my 67 notch.
I've got one out of a 68 in it right now.

I have a friend who has a 56 Ford he`s doing over . I always think of him when it`s difficult for me to find a part, he waits years for parts at times.

DUDE! Stick it in an envelope and send it to me!

PM me with details. I don't need the wheel, but is everything else good? How's the bearings? Why did you swap it out? You don't know if it was manual or P/S do you? If it's a manual column it should be 42" from end to end after pulling the steering wheel. If need be I'll get a Flaming River adapter.

Please let me know and THANK YOU for getting back to me.

Of course I know if it's P/S or not. It did come out of my car after all.....:toothy10:
It's a P/S column. Nothing's wrong with it. Bearings are fine. Most of the stuff in my dash is from a 68. I don't remember why I swapped it, but I do remember that there was nothing wrong with. Make me an offer, and pay the shipping.
