New Member - no car but a '70 Olds 98 Steering Column

Hello folks,
I joined this forum trying to get help with this old hot rod I am working on that has a 1970 Olds 98 steering column.
I will be asking many questions. I have to replace the turn signal switch and ignition switch.
This column has tilt and telescoping. I identified its and Olds column because the wheel horn area has Oldsmobile written on it (duh).
A fella on the "HAMB" saw a picture and helped me narrow it down to a '70 Olds 98.
Anyway, I'm glad to see there is a nice Oldsmobile Forum for me to interact with and learn something.

Very nice, I saw you on the Hamb also. I don't know about the 70 column, but I hope it's not like a tilt on a '63 Riviera- they are a PIA. Someone will be able to help on here. Good luck!

Thanks guys. Greg, thank you. Regarding the truck, it is amazing but most all the sheet metal is darned good. I think the truck was a custom show truck when it was first put together (on the inside of the frame there are pin stripes and it has a custom aluminum hood top and tilt). You don't see old Plymouth trucks much. Regarding the steering column. Have post a question here and on HAMB. I appreciate you guys and your help.
