How hard is it to rebuild an original truck column?

What are the pieces that you would say should ALWAYS be replaced?

What should I look for in a good used column (typical problem areas)?

I can't answer your Q's but there is a great write-up with exploded views here.

It's not that difficult. Just disassemble, clean and inspect all the parts and replace anything that shows excessive wear. (Usually, upper and lower bearings and turn signal switch)
