What model? Windsors have shorter columns than other models. Probably has to come from a Chrysler since they don't have any turn signal lever on them.

You would have to find one from a 60 Saratoga or New Yorker, or a 1961 New Yorker, or 60-61 300-F/G ( LOL ) all long wheelbase cars. All other 60-61 Chrysler models are Short wheelbase cars with shorter columns.

I believe that I have the spare column and power steering box from a 300G parts car, but need to pull it out of the back corner and take a look. I would have to strap the column/box assembly to a pallet and ship truck freight.

Hey Karl,[great name!]

Strap it to a sheet of plywood and then just wrap it all in cardboard and ship it Greyhound. Lots cheaper. I had 2 fenders shipped for the mid-west to the east coast for under $100. I think about the same for my tailgate from west to east and not a scratch.

Karl.

Current information on column and box: Power steering box has 1822734 and 0-61 cast into the side. The stamped steel tube is 28.625" long, the splined shaft for the steering wheel hub is 2.375" long. The overall length (end of steering box to tip of splined shaft) is 41.750". The weight with box, hoses and pitman arm comes to around 60 pounds. Looks like I will be able to ship UPS after all. I will get a digital image to you next week via a PM.
