Thanks everyone for the thoughtful advice. I'm not afraid of disassembling a tilt/telescope column. I worked in a shop in the '90s and did repairs to recovered stolen vehicles. Often the same one more than once... Generally gms and always with stg column damage.
I think I can adapt the column to the box and then pretty much use it as is when I put in a different box. I have a question on that but will start a new thread for that.
Thanks again for the good suggestions!
Dan
