Re: [Chrysler300] 1963 Chrysler 300 Gearbox rebuild

[Ray Jones <1970hurst@xxxxxxxxx>]

HI MARK;
I have a complete 62-64 Steering Column from Steering Wheel to the Pitman
Arm.
I am coming to the Meet and can bring it with me if you can pick it up
there.
I don't see that you are coming to the meet, it is in your state, shame not
to at least drop by.
Let me know if you re interested. $75.00 delivered to the meet.
Ray Jones
