    This is the same design as on my '60 Falcon, except for the ignition switch. It was a colunm shift also. If you look at the ear on the t-bolt you can see the t-bolt sticks out far enough to catch the hole in the tube.

    Left it sitting in a field in NC on April 9th and drove my 5.0 powered C10 home. Haven't touched or seen it since. Next weekend I'll drive it for the final time, then pull the engine and trans out. Work on the next Mav will start in June.
