It might be easier to use the '77 column than the original.

Using the original requires cutting the column and shaft and locating a bearing to support the shaft. And then attaching to the end of the original shaft to connect to the new steering box.

My current thought is to look for a way to put the original wheel on a later column. Of course I plan to gain a turn-signal switch, automatic column shift and tilt wheel in the process.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
