It's all there & assembled correctly... it's actually what remains of my steering column after cutting it down to 35" to attach it to a rack & pinion/IFS. Part of the problem is that it's not anchored anymore to the huge steering box attached to the frame. The other problem is the quality of the needle bearings in the new mast bearings - it's an off shore item and there is about .010 side to side play in it. The steering/handling is really nice now, but I am challenged to keep the stock column and wheel. I won't go into detail, but suffice to say the truck has been modernized in many ways but looks more or less stock.
After talking to builders & owners in my area, I've decided to go with a 54 steering wheel and a new, plain column. This will look like a 54 floor shift column, have the same style integral turn signal and have better bearings than the original. Most important, the new column will also be anchored with a collar to the firewall/floor.
