'67 was the first year for the collapsable column, a safety addition that would collapse on impact, instead of shoving the column through the drivers chest. On a 67 (or later), I think you'd find the thick part of the column would be shorter, and lead into a collapsable joint that looks like a stamped box at the bottom, just above where it links into the steering box. I'll try to get a picture of mine. I can say without question, My steering column looks nothing like that ('67 Satellite). LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

He said his is a original power steering car that he is switching to floor shifted. If I am reading the replies correct this is a '67 column but is collapsed? Meaning it has possibly been in a collision and the nylon pins are sheared inside?

I have no idea if that will interfere with my TTI headers I have sitting here.That would be my luck and they would make contact with the column since it's not a '68..who knows!!
