    You get the shaft with those new steering columns,,,,,,the thing is, you already have 2 of them,,,,,,,so you would have to cut the shaft off the steering box and connect the steering column to it,,,,,,,and then there is the shift lever shaft,,,,,,it is part of our steering columns,,,,,so what do you do for shifting? I think if you took the whole column and shift lever assembly out of a 2nd gen, (67-70), it would fit and work on a 1st Gen, (64-66).

    I put a Lokar in my van, it works, but I had to find a 13' cable to run back to the transmission.

    The B&M Shifter I bought wouldn't work, it would just bind. When your ready, and if you want to know, I'll look up the one I bought.
