Re: 68 vs 72 steering column
Quote:
What was the last year for the 1 piece shaft? I am pretty sure the lower bearing is different according to LMC catalog, so maybe that is the breakoff for the design change?

To answer your question 1968. The 67 and 68 were the only year they used these columns. 66 and earlier were single piece but different design.

So, is the 2 piece a better design in anyone's opinion?

No not necessarily, just easier to find parts for.

Do I need to find the lower shaft

Yes you do. You can't just cut what you need from your old 68 column. WES
