Steering Wheel Shaft
« on: June 11, 2016, 08:16:00 PM »

Believe the markings are original - seen them (color marks on the steering shaft on 65-66 cars)  before

Never took the time to catalog and compare them to the three (think there are three) different types available  since they are unseen on a completed car.
