Do you want to get the whole steering gear out or just the upper portion
(mast jacket)? If it's like my '57 Plymouth, you first remove the
steering wheel then take off the snap ring from the center shaft. Then
you remove the mount that holds the column to the dash and loosen the
clamp that holds the lower end of the jacket to the steering gear. After
all that the whole assembly slides up and off, leaving the inner shaft in
place. You can then see how the inner shaft comes off the steering gear
if you need to remove it for more room to hoist the body off the
chassis.

Hello All,
First I want to thank all of you who responded to my questions. I really
appreciate it, some of those answers were well thought out and
researched. It will make things go with ease and confidence. Second, I
owe all of you an apology for not responding back to your emails.
Unfortunately, last week, my girlfriends grandmother passed away. I
stayed with her throughout the week and helped her out with whatever I
could. I will make an effort this week to reply to all of your emails.
Now for another question, how do you get the steering
column out of the car? The body shop is trying to figure this one out.
I'm thinking they can unbolt the panel at the firewall/floor board and
lift the body over the column. Is there a way to separate the column for
the steering box? Let me know any of you frame off guys out there.
Oh, almost forgot, I still haven't heard of a good rocker panel source.
Any leads? Thanks again for all of your time and trouble.
-Frank
