Free to good home - 408 steering shaft Part No 407-1-25060

Just pay the shipping from Florida Zip 32757 or collect it.

I think it's for the 407 and some 409s too.

What wood veneer in 408?

The two pieces of veneered wood between the dash and the front edges of the doors need refinishing. The veneers are cracked and chipped. Can anyone tell me what wood Bristol used, please?

Fortunately for me, I have two local gas stations that sell ethanol-free 89 Octane gasoline. My 408 has a 1978 360 installed and runs well on this stuff.
