Re: 1959 Apache question (damaged column)

On a 55 that I had a few years back my splines were stripped real bad so I cut a steering shaft from 62 Chevy truck most GM sixty's to seventys are 3/4 inch round steel. I shorten it from stock in the process did by beveling the shaft and welded it together using an angle iron as jig, also added an outer sleeve over the weld on both ends and welded it for safety sake and the outer steering column sleeve hides the patch. Also flaming river has a new shaft splined one end and steering wheel spline with nut thread on e=gay for 55-57 car that will work for $35 dollars.
