For Sale Are these worth anything?

[platnumheart666]

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.

Clearly they are worth something...
Why not look on ebay to see what they typically sell for and if the avg selling prices are not worth the hassle to you, give it away or trash it...

Here ya go. This is a tilt-a-way but likely will give you some idea...

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?

It is the non-tilt stock steering column

The stock steering wheel goes perfectly on the ididit tilt column

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

We got the Borgeson Steering Box.

And did you have to get the install kit i.e. new rag joint etc.?
Can you just give me the part numbers of what you used? You can send it to me in Private message if you want.

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.
