So, my 16 year old son just got his license, and he'll be driving my (his) 72 Luv. I was just thinking today, while I was driving down the highway, how close the steering wheel is to my chest. I started thinking about the death spear steering column with not even a ujoint to absorb a head on crash.

Is my column collapsable? I gather from a search of the forum that the later columns have some kind of collapsing section. How about an early column? there isn't anything between the bottom of the column and the box. Is it up inside the column?

Thanks for any info. I may be switching to a later column.

Glenn

I believe all LUVs have a solid steering shaft.

LUVs have a rag joint don't they? That was the 70's answer to the spear in a wreck thing.
