Sawzall. 2 minutes. Flush with the bump at the box.

I shortened the outer shaft and milled 2 flats on the shaft. I cut the last inch or so from a stock S10 column where it slides into the collapsable shaft. It fit onto the flats I milled on it. We turned a bushing but you can get a bearing from Classic Parts I think. Used a spring and a collet to cancel out some of the vibration. We shopped around a junkyard barrel for the right length collapsable shaft, put it in place, and drilled the shaft to mount the bolt correctly.
