Dennis - Unfortunatly you will need an intermediate steering shaft. It needs to be from a pre 73 truck as in 73 GM went to larger diameter on the PU column but stayed with the smaller diameter shaft on the vans - who knows why. The vans don't use an intermediate shaft.

Some good news - boardmember Jose had 2 for sale at the last swap meet at a fair price.

This is not a big deal - don't let it upset you. Your column looks very good converted to manual - Bob
