My '69 bus had a steering lock, which was very difficult to defeat the
one time I tried (no, that's not how I acquired the bus).


My '71 didn't, which surprised me. But that bus was "swept off the floor"
as they say-- I found one receipt for the engine from a junkyard, another
receipt for the body from a different junkyard, etc. Maybe it had a
transplanted steering column, from a '68 perhaps?


Ah, the mysteries with which our loaves constantly titillate us...  :^)
