The Ford Barn

ford35lh · 07-18-2022, 12:43 AM

We were pulling a 35' big truck out of the barn and suddenly
the wheels turned to the left and the column locked up.
It has been moved before with no issues. There is no key.
Will drilling out the lock free the steering the fastest ???

Could be quite an ordeal if you've never removed a lock cyl.Disconnect the drag link and deal with it at its new resting place. You mean '35 not 35'(which is 35 ft)?
