I am not sure what tilt steering column is on my truck but it apparently is not originally from a 72 truck as most of the replacement parts I have ordered do not fit.

The steering rod end is splined and it has this coupling unit and a rag joint at the PS pump.

I bought an aftermarket tilt column that has a 3/4 in DD on the end, is there a way to make this setup work? Do I need a DD to splined adapter? Do I need to keep the coupling unit since I have a rag joint?
