To 'dadsbee' and 'blue69runner'. I'm glad to have referenced one of your threads in my thread. Both of you make your comments so clear. I WILL continue to read and re-read both your instructions and review the pictures you have made available. Because of your comments I now have a much...

I am so very thankful for the details. Your link will be invaluable !! I have already started reading and will be re-reading and re-reading and then some. I did 'in my travels' come across a b-body link which indicated that if the plastic pins have deteriorated and the steering column has...

I notice that this 'joint' where the plastic pins are is part way along the main shaft of the steering column. Is the joint in the upper half of the column? Are specialty tools required to remove and reinstall the bearings and if you are going to recreate the plastic pins would it be advisable...

Thanks "blue69runner" !! I recognize many of the pieces you are showing however I have not taken the column apart far enough to get to the 'spring' you mention / show. Is it located in the upper half of the column?? Is it very difficult; i.e. do I need a press to put a replacement bearing...

The steering shaft / main coupler was lined up correctly with the splines on the steering gear box. The coupler on the steering column shaft came apart when I removed it and it is now lying on the floor of the car. The coupler is only held together with the metal pressed piece however in doing...

Thanks for your response. I did not drop the column on the floor however I was using a deadblow hammer to try and set the connector further onto the steering box / gear box. I will check. Ps. no plastic on the floor either.

I have a 1969 Road Runner and I am getting ready to reinstall the column. I am running into a problem with the length of the column as it seems to be to short BUT I did remove it, restore it and now ???????? Can anyone confirm if what the actual length(s) of the manual steering column is...

:thankyou: John.

You guys and gals? are incredible. This is my very first car ever and without your help I would be in over my head. BTW many people do believe that I am in over my head. God bless You. Good night.

Thank you very much for the picture. As it is known........a picture saves a thousand words. Stay safe, be kind.

The year of the car is 1969. What about the paint treatment on the dash ???

I am about to spray paint my dash and steering column. I have purchased the appropriate paint however I do not know if everything gets painted. Does the entire steering column get painted ? i.e. 360 degrees ? What about the dash. Same thing for the support that holds the steering column to...

Well you do know what happens when a duck flies upside down ????? It quacks up !!

thanks guys !!!! you really are amazing.

You guys are amazingly quick in your responses. To clarify......you go in from the wire side? Are you inserting the flat tool underneath the pin in line with the wire you are trying to remove??

I am in the process of restoring the steering column in my 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. The car has a 4-spd standard transmission so gear selector to concern myself with. However in breaking down the steering column I have hit a snag. How do you separate the wire pins from the signal / horn...

My name is John and I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I use the handle "TseTse Runner" and I am restoring a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. I purchased the car thru 'Texas Toy Box' (TTB) approx. 16 years ago. The car actually came from Oklahoma as Ray at TTB knew of a man in Oklahoma...

Why not just tell everyone the truth?? Novel concept but I know I'd sleep better. After all if you never tell a lie you never have to remember what you said and to whom. Just saying.

Thanks for the additional information especially the note about and the dimensioning for the rubber block and its location. Very helpful.

In restoring an early '69 Road Runner (build date Sept 30, 1968) I was advised that the rear window had clips complete with screws but that there is no rear window gasket available.
