thread pitch 1964 steering column

Hay all,

Anyone know the thread size/pitch on the 1964 and up steering columns? Different than the 61-63 units... Was a bit cornfused last night trying to get the old girl back together.

Thanks!

I'm seeing the same part # for 57-70 4x2 and 61-65 4x4 so that would lead me to believe they are the same pitch and count. The difference comes with the 66-72 4x4 and 71-72 4x2 for some reason.

re check you alignment. remove the bolt. Need to be out before it will slip over, locks on the shaft. Some can be very tight.

Hm... Didn't see the truck it came out of, but was told it was a '64. don't know 4x2 or 4x4 (mine's a 61 4x2) Tab it up to an ***-u-me issue... Any-whoos, the larger nut which holds the steering wheel to the shaft turns out to be a 5/8-18unf thread.

Thanks for the info!
