Yes, another steering column question!

I have a 1950 Chevy 1/2 ton truck. I want to put in it a NEW steering column with column shift. I have a rack and pinion front end. Has anyone done this before for this type vehicle? What length column works best? What did you use? What would you do differently?

Thanks!

I have the same year truck and suspension. I used a column out of a late 70's early 80's Oldsmobile. It's a tilt, column shift with key.
