Re: [T3] Locking steering column?


> I was just flipping through the dealer brochure I recently picked up for
our Fastback, and it describes a "locking steering column" for the '68
Fastback.  While I know that '68 and newer domestic cars have locking
steering columns, the column in our Fastback most certainly does not lock.
Is this a common thing to break or gum up?  Or does the car not have a
locking column.

I don't see how it could break, the locking tabs are welded to the column.
They can be removed though.

My '69 locks.

I've seen a couple '67s that did not lock but I don't know if '67 and '68
were "without lock" for the USA.

My friend has a '66 that does not lock but he reports that the locking tabs
have clearly been removed from the column.
