I think a '56 column will work. Has the turn signals and the shift box with the lower bent shift arm. I will cut the column just below the shift box allowing room for a 'Column Saver' at the bottom of the housing. Then grind the shaft to a double 'D' and connect with 'U' joints to the rack and pinion. I may have to stay with the '56 steering wheel. I'll let you know how it turns out.
