Steering Column | Steering shaft | HELP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am swapping my steering column on my truck. The steering column that the truck came with was from a newer model with no tilt. Now that I'm swapping it, I have noticed that the connection from the column to the steering shaft is different. The one that was on there has a pressure connection type entry (Picture #2), and the one that I got a hold of is held by a bolt (Picture #1).

I need suggestions please. ((((HELP)))))

1. Do I need the correct steering shaft?
2. Can I change the steering shaft connection?

Please advise, and please excuse my ignorance, I'm new at DIY
