You going to hook that to the original gear box? The shaft on the '39 is part of the gear box and doesn't come off with out a hack saw.

Is your truck stock or rodded ? Planned motor / trans combination ? Manual or power steering ?

No problem..... I have a column shift type steering column from a 78 Chevy van in mine - hooks up OK to the linkage on my TH350. Have a few Borgeson universals to route DD type steering shaft around exhaust and engine mount, and into the steering box. Have a Saginaw type PS pump with pressure reducer, feeding the M2 rack. Ignition switch is mounted in dash, but no reason you could not mount on column if you choose ( or go with one of those fancy push buttons ! )
