68 C10 Manual Steer Info Needed

I'm doing some internet research for P/N's to get my manual steering box connected to the auto tilt-column I recently installed in my 68 Beater.

From my measurments, it looks like the column shaft is 3/4 dia- 36 spline. The steering box also looks like it's 3/4 dia but it has a pretty severe 'flat' machined so I'm assuming the spline count is the same.

Can anyone point me to some internet info that can confirm this so I can have some educated info when I call to get pricing & product info? Or possibly someone has purchased Borgeson joints for their steering & can chime in on what they used?

Thanks in advance . . ....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

He also used a later model style column.

I'm pretty sure that my column is 3/4dia & I did actually count 36 splines; it's the gear box that has me wondering. It's difficult to assume the spline count when almost 1/4 of the shaft is machined flat.
