The late steering column started with the '68 model, not 67.5.
I am in the process of planning to install the '70 steering box and column
(recirculating ball box) in my 67.5. I haven't had the time to really get
into it yet, just collecting and cleaning parts at this time. Hopefully
by mid 2002 I will do the conversion, along with a complete front end
rebuild.
Peace,
Pat
