32 column drop
I have a 33-4 steering column. Will the 32 column drop work on the 33 or are the tubes different? If so can someone post some pics please.

Re: 32 column drop
Some things to consider ; 33-34 have 2 slightly different length steering shafts and both are not close to 32 . This will cause issues with the lock - etc . A bigger problem is the sector shaft housing is clocked different than 32 so the coulmn drop won't even be close .

Re: 32 column drop
They are similar but get the respective drop for the model.

Re: 32 column drop
Ok, what I have is a 32 box w/a bent steering shaft and no column and a 34 box complete so I used the steering shaft and sector gear out of the 34 into the 32 box, everything fits as they use the same parts both are 15 to 1 ratio. I know the drops are different. Can the 34 tube be made to work with the 32 drop. At this time i'm trying to find a decent 32 colume drop.

Re: 32 column drop
What matters would be the length of everything being the same. As far as the tube lining up with the lock, that's easy to check. Just place the tube on the steering box and then see if the locking collar on the shaft lines up with the hole in the tube. You can obviously re do the hole in the tube or move the collar. I would trial fit everything in the car before I move/cut/weld anything.
