steering column
What is the difference between a manual steering column and a power steering column?I just listed a 72 column on ebay and I have been asked that question and just want to get it right.

Re: steering column
Manual columns and columns used with Bendix power steering are the same length. Columns used with Saginaw power steering are shorter.

Re: steering column
its hard top tell but it is probably for power steering being it is from a 73. but the end of the center shaft length is how you tell if is too long or not.

Re: steering column
And it isn't a Bronco column, 4X4 columns are different than 2 wheel drive columns. Hawkrod
