OK. Got me too.... I just looked at this post. Been on the parts board before but never looked. My fault. I had heard of a guy in lone oak that was bad news from a prior post on the regular 67-72 board. He had a used column for 45.01. I needed one real bad cause mine was shot. Did it anyway. Was advertised as "used" "nice and tight" and "ready for install". It showed up pretty fast. It was fugly. Looked like someone re-painted it with a brush. He took the steering wheel off it...well I guess it was not advertised as coming WITH the wheel. I can't determine if it really is "nice and tight" till I get my truck back and put my steering wheel on. I think what I will end up doing is dissasembling blasting/painting and rebuilding. Just kick me. I guess I need a shouting/blinking sticky that says LOOK HERE YOU IDIOT!!!!
