  I put a '69 column in my '64, it was pretty easy. I outlined it on my
Notch progress page on my web site. I thought it was much easier to not use
the collasping column stuff, this then allows you to just swap the column
heads, fab a new nut plate thingie (obvious when you have the two column
heads side by side) and then the wiring.  The '71 wiring will be slightly
different if the wiper switch is in it (?, not sure when that happened).
Grab the mating plugs out of the '71 so the grafting of the wiring is
easier.

  With my '64 side parking lights and the '69 column, they lite up for
parking per  factory intent, And they lite up with the turn signals when
making a turn just like a late model Caddylack or New Beetle  Kinda kool.
