Pappy_GT13 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm going to need more than luck! BTW. do you have a steering column to fit 81 VW Rabbit pickup or pieces to repair mine? Bearings are bad in mine causing horn to short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tps48 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 No rabbit P/U.... but lots of regular rabbits if they use the same steering column. I'm in N/E San Antonio if you ever get up this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
