Should not be a problem EXCEPT for the connection of the column wiring to vehicle harness. How's it going to start ? I'm sure someone has figure it out on this web site. To me not worth the hassle.

Not hard at all, it's been done many times.. Use a readily available adaptor harness to connect the column harness to the main under dash harness. You can either reroute the ignition switch wiring to connect to the column mounted switch or just leave the factory dash mounted ignition switch in place. If your column has the column mounted dimmer switch, it can be wired into the wiring harness also. Junk yard steering shafts and Borgenson couplers will connect the shaft to the steering box.
