I've got a project car going to be delivered to me tomorrow or the next day. The seller divulged that the key was lost but assured me that the steering column does not lock (the price and my enthusiasm helped me sort of believe him). Anyway, the driver just called in route and tells me that the steering is locked (surprise, surprise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). So, unless I can defeat the steering column lock I'm gonna have to run out and buy a set of wheel dollies, and I'd rather not. Anyone know a way to bypass the column lock on a '74 without the key? TIA.
