Re: 1971 c10 steering column help!!!
There is a spring & clamp that goes on the bottom of the shaft. Often the lower brg. gets stuck to the shaft & locks the shaft from coming up. The spring comes in a kit with the lower brg. & I think the clamp does too. Its been a long time since I did one but i'm pretty sure the clamp is included in the kit.

There should also be a big thick 1/4" +/- washer that goes at the bottom of the column

Re: 1971 c10 steering column help!!!
Thanks again for posting your process. Gave me the "nerve" to remove the nub, came out better than expected!
