Columns Galore
pulled a column out of a truck today and found their sticker on the column, well this very nice 1969 short bed out of LA was wrecked in the front and then totaled it and here is what I found, THESE IDIOTS @ Columns Galore installed at the bottom 2 lower bearings and 2 lower bearing sleeves in the same column in which was causing shifting issues + might have caused some steering issues which I believe caused this truck to wreck, When I took the column out and tested to shift popped 1 bearing out and 1 bearing jammed inside the bottom of column.. Anyway after seeing this I would stay away from these idiots that called themselves them professional column builders and not knowing how many more they did this to

Re: Columns Galore
I did get a phone call from them and denied anything I said and more or less put the blame on the customer saying that he painted the column and put their sticker on the column and put extra bearings and bearing sleeves in it, so just passing the buck,
