i installed a clip from a 81 malibu onto my 49 chevy truck. i cut the bottom of my steerin an used the malibu steering rod, it slid right on mine just like it was made to do that. i cut the bottom of the malibu steering housing an welded it to mine, i then took the bottom bearing out an slide the two steerin shafts together, i then welded an drilled the shaft an put a grade 8 bolt an put it all back together an u cant even tell that any thing was done, so i kept my old steerin column
