my buddies needing to know what steering coloum will fit his 69.5 maverick any advice would be much appreciated
One from another '69.5 Maverick would be the best bet. You'll probably have to do some wiring to get one from a '70+ Maverick to work. Why does he need to change the steering column?
What is wrong with the current column? What part of Missouri are you in? MCG has an event in July in Joplin.
I can help on this subject. If you have a 70 or better column you also need the brake pedal assembly from the same car. Its a pain. I had to go with a 69.5 column in my 71 comet, because there was no other three on tree columns. Plus, the dash mounted ignition key is sweet.
I have a 69.5 that i just got the other day that i am parting out let me know if you are interested in parts
