Steering column & Trans Swap
My colum is the original 3 on the tree manual shift. The previous owner swapped it to a floor shift (manual) T18. I am ultimately thinking about swapping the T18 for a C4 automatic. If I install a floor shifter for the C4, would I need to swap my current steering column as well?
1970 F100 "Marvin 2" - Crown Vic IFS, 302, C4 (work in progress)
1970 F250 "Leonard" - 302, C6 (project in waiting)
1971 F100 "Walt" - 302, 3-speed on the column (Sunday driver)
2004 Mustang GT "Horse With No Name" - 4.6L, 5 speed (Retired daily driver / Friday driver)

Re: Steering column & Trans Swap
As long as you're running a floor shifter for your C4, your steering column will not be affected and therefore can be left as is.
