I need to change the steering column on my 87 vert (due to a theft). I have never done this before so I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight, how to's, pitfalls to avoid or just advice on doing this. The new column is out of a 98 stang. No air bag. I want to do it so everything still works like the cruise control and whatever.

Thanks

It is really pretty straight forward.

Remove all the plastic trim peices around the wheel and unplug the wiring.

Then remove the plastic panels under the column from the dash.

Then unbolt the steering shaft connection.

Then there are a couple of bolts with a brace that hold the column up under the dash.

Then the whole thing pulls out from the inside.

It's really not too hard.

I'm not too sure about the 98 one working though.
