1966 steering column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 66 column. I want to know if I can put a 67 steering shaft in my 66 column. So I can put a newer steering wheel on? Name: DSCN0871.jpg

Well I went to cpp and talked to them.

What did they say?

Wow only 179 people looked but no one has a answer? Hello Clyde 65 cpp said the new Budnik should work.

What difference would a 67 shaft make to the steering wheel?

I once put a 68 or maybe 67 shaft in a 66 column, to make the 66 column have the right length and flange for a power steering box. This was a 4-speed column, no shifter.

I used the 66 steering wheel.

Does Budnick make a steering wheel that doesn't use a 9 bolt adapter?

No.

Because Budnik said the wheel adapter will work on a 67 to 94

I am not sure but if the shafts are the same diameter, it would be worth checking it out

I'm the 277th viewer and I have no answer.

If there's some reason it wont go on there, it isn't the shaft. I did that shaft swap and put the 66 wheel back on. It fits and looks completely stock. It is just shorter on the steering box end.

Maybe it's the signal lights or the cancel mechanism or something like that?

I put a wheel from a 90 something in my 64. I didn’t need any adapters or anything. It was a direct bolt in. Why do you think you need a different shaft?

stsalvage · 07-08-2019, 09:50 AM

the splines from 1960--72 are the same I used a smaller steering wheel from 1967 on my 1972 column and when I needed a steering wheel for my 1964 C60 bobtail I pulled a 1968 off and put it on no difference
