The top half looks normal to me, but the lower half looks odd, and has a hole in it. I needed this for a 68 Column. It was listed as 67-69. Will this work for me? Lower top down view, hole slightly visable Hole in lower Looks like hole is for some sort of set pin? another shot of lower column I don't remember this hole in any column, I did have a member send me a pic of a column out of a 67 barracuda, and it had a hole. Will this work for removing my column shift on my 68 Column? thank you.

Then a rod from a collum shift would conect to special linkage that would meet up on the shift lever on the transmission. when in park with the key removed it would lock the steering wheel and the floor gear selector(manual or automatic) In 1971 the lower collar was changed to the lever that had to be pressed down to remove the key. This for floor shift cars. I cant remember if it locked the transmission or not. But I dont think it did.

This is the correct size for 69 back columns.

I have a 67 c-body steering column that has that same hole in the lower collar, and a set screw is accessible. If I had to venture a guess, based on the part numbers visible, I would say that the collars you purchased are from a 67-68 c-body car.

It is listed as an A,B,C, but not Imperial. It is listed as a bowl for a floor shift column without a slot cut at the top of the jacket. Maybe that will help? 5980168-ColumnInfo.jpg (38 downloads)

I can't remember how the lower half attaches, for some reason I thought it bolted to the upper half. I think this should work. I wish I could remember how to get the pins out of the switch too.
