And therein lies your problem. Unless you push it you’ll always have skinny legs.

No idea, what do you suggest. Figured I’d Google it or ask Bart.

IIRC, the shaft has grease already in it (what seemed like too much really).
If memory serves, I tried to duplicate it while at the same time not just putting in wasteful globs of grease.
I've seen it discussed before on here, probably an easy search. I just wasn't sure if you already had a plan of attack.
If the grease is still in your column, it would be interesting to see a picture of it.

EDIT: 66 Steering Column Grease
Top part definitely had some of that brown grease. I’ll look at the old shaft and see what clues I can find. It’s a side project for now, making sure the pedal box will go back in without having to move wiring around is first. I’m still Dr restricted to not lifting over 20 pounds for another week so I’ll have to see how it goes. Getting all of me under the dash probably equates to way more than that.
I didn’t have any in my column, just around the bearings.
Thanks, I be blowing black dust out of my nose for days. Any recommendations on a good spray paint for this?

From what I have seen, there is grease in the column of unmolested steering columns.
I'm sure @Russstang 's has been molested...

It was quite a while ago that I removed mine so I didn't recall any grease. I like your sense of humour though 😂

Great work Scott. Keep digging. You’ll get there.
This is the sole reason Webster invented the term, "Eventually." Sorry could resist bud, I know you've been busy on your property too.

You guys keep up the positive encouragement, I'll make sure the negative is taken care of...
"Positive reinforcement is a process that strengthens the likelihood of a particular response by adding a stimulus after the behavior is performed. Negative reinforcement also strengthens the likelihood of a particular response, but by removing an undesirable consequence."
"Results of the current study suggest that a combination of both positive and negative reinforcement was most effective for increasing one participant's compliance to simple tasks. One possible explanation for these results is that the combination of both contingencies increased the individual value of each reinforcer."
I don't make the rules, just following them...

I just want to know where my dual exhaust tip is. Someone’s wasting time messing with steering parts instead of exhaust parts.
Thanks for the encouragement, the discouragement and the random, selfish whiny comments from the Fox body contingent. No grease in my column, just around the top where the bearings are. Column was rust free top and bottom, surprisingly, but there was some around the floorboard area. Nothing a wire wheel and some sandpaper can’t take care of. I have new bushings and seals so after I paint it I’ll put it all back together.
I'm in a good place with my progress. December and January taught me patience.
