You can check with IBUILDM on this site and he can fix you up with parts necessary to use you existing column if you wish.

no youll need to cut your steering shaft loose from the old steering box ( down by the steering box ) and use the kit from www.cachassisworks.com it for there front clip but it works on the other ones ( tci , heidts , etc )

You dont have to cut the shaft on the 67. Theres a splined coupler.

I have a two pieCe kit from Heidts that is made to fit your 67 column. The 67 column is the only year that disconnects from the box without a hacksaw. You need the SC-232 adapter and the shaft and u-joint kit SC-239 for a manual rack or the SC-249 for a power rack. They both sell together for $204. If you want a new Ididit tilt column and u-joint/shaft kit plan on spending about $520.

You do not have to buy the expensive ididt column. You can make your stock column work. Or if you want tilt steering, you can adapt a column out of another vehicle. Probably the best one to use ,if you can find one, is the tilt column from a 72-78/79 Chevy van. But has to be shortened around 2 1/2- 3" to match the length of the stock nova column. I put one in my 64 and it works great. You don't even have to use the steering shaft kits mentioned above if you're good at fabrication and mixing/matching parts.
If money isn't an issuie, go with the shaft kits or ididit tilt column. Its usually easier and faster that way.
