Bare outer tube for the 1968 Mercury Cougar or Ford Mustang fixed steering column. There were two versions of this outer steering column. The Ford MPC indicates that the -A version was made from 0.060" tubing, -C version from 0.072" tubing. We don't differentiate between the two, we have a limited number of tubes available. This 1968 fixed outer tube is very similar to the 1969 fixed outer tube, the oval slit on this 1968 tube is 1-5/8", as opposed to the 1969 slits, which are 1-7/8".
This item will likely have some amount of surface rust. Plan on sanding priming and painting. Keep in mind that these tubes are year specific.
Ford part number C8ZZ-3514-A or C8ZZ-3514-C.
