Hey!  

How/WHO did you get the Moss Motors pic from?   I hadn't seen it!

Rick I may have one laying around,  how complete does it need to be and can you tell me exactly how to identify a '68 and '69 column?

Spline count and the brackets for the headlamp and turn signal levers from what I understand.

The 68=69 columns were the only two years to use a spline count of 27


1962-1967
spline OD 3/4" by 47 splines
thread 11/16 X 27 TPI

1968-1969
spline OD 5/8" by 27 splines
thread 9/16 X 27 TPI

1970-1976
spline OD 11/16 by 35 splines
thread 9/16 X 18 TPI

1977-1980
spline OD 11/16" by 35 splines
thread 9/16 X 18 TPI
