1962 - 1965 Mopar Steering Column Modifications
Joey writes: In my 1965 Dodge I started out with a manual column and added the Borgenson joint to the power steering column and that fit to the manual steering box.
I cannot see any problems performing the same modification to a power steering column.

Steering is nice and tight and no coupler is used.
The two pictures below show the shaft before I welded it all together, (you get the idea); easy to do and it really tightens the
steering up.
A picture showing Nico’s 1964 all together will be posted here asap.
