Good morning bebop,
I’ve owned the same ’36 Chevy pickup since 1965 and restored it n the early 1970s. Along the way I’ve found some parts not listed in parts books for the ’36 but they definitely fit and improve various things like the steering issue you are dealing with now. I’d be glad to share with you privately what I’ve learned about the ’36 Chevy if you’re interested.
There are also various 1936 Chevy forums including one on Facebook.
