I have a 67 floor shift/manual steering column. I have purchased a 76 Dart floor shift column but the shaft is for power steering. Does anyone know if I can trade out the shafts so that I have a 76 floor shift with manual steering length shaft? I'm going to use a tuff wheel and it looks better on the newer style column.
Alternatively, can the top located conical housing parts just be switched out? I would prefer to just switch out the top parts as the shaft removal looks tricky. Anybody know how to take out the shafts in the first place? Do they even attach the same? As you can tell, I'm lost on this one. Please help. I had found a link to a moparmuscle tech page showing how to disassemble an E body column but my 67 column's shaft is held in differently than the E body type. I'm wondering if the 76 dart column is the same as the E type. If it is, then question answered the shafts are held in differently.
Here is the link to the Ebody tech article.

Can someone go look at the pictures and compare it to your 1970 to 1976 A body column, PLEASE?
