junkyard tilt column

[kevncar]

OK, I went to the junkyard today and got a 3-1/2 turn power steering box off a mid-70s chevy pickup and this tilt column. The only thing I'm worried about is I don't see the intermediate shaft everybody is talking about having to collapse.




Please...someone tell me I didn't get the wrong column. Am I supposed to collapse the shaft from my truck? (manual shift manual steering)



Or is the shaft inside the column and you have to remove it first, and then collapse?

There were a bunch of vans with tilts at both yards I went to, but most of them were the later models with the ignition on the column. This was the only tilt I found without the ignition. There were a bunch with non-tilts, and all of the columns shafts at the end looked about the same. They stuck out of the end of the column about 6". Nothing like the long shaft in my truck.

Please help
