Brian and Tony, thanks for the replies. Since I had some time today, I decided to dive in and see what would happen. I was able to swap the shaft assembly from the old column into the 'new' 76 van column, adapt the under-dash bracket for the e-brake, and use a combination of pieces to install my original steering wheel ...no welding or cutting. Just jury-rigged right now,but WE'RE WINNING! :p
