For Sale Are these worth anything?

I just installed a Ididit column and Bilstein, Wilwood 4 wheel disc, all new front end basically. I was wondering if the original steering column and steering box are worth anything since it was only a '68 year model option?

Please let me know, as otherwise it might just get recycled.

steering column

Hi, sorry not sure if this is a tilt steering column or standard. Can you post a pic but I am interested. Let me know the details. Thank you, Wallace

I was thinking of doing that too. Can you use the original steering wheel with that column?

If you changed the steering box which one did you get?

Dynacorn Magnum 500 17X7 with Falken FK-453 235/45/17

Now time for my Husband to recover financially and save up for round 2.

The bad is: Found out has Bondo on front right fender and we have to schedule an appointment with the frame shop. Apparently, it had the rear right quarter replaced and they over-layed it so the quarter is actually raised a bit. There is signs of the rail being straightened and we must see is we have to do more or plate it. We plan on doing sub-frames and just in case frame work would damage the quarter further, may just do when ready for body and paint in the not-so-near future.
