Steering column question

[mygirlz55]

Thanks for all the great info.
Guess its time to hit the junk yard.
So its just preference if I want the column keyed or non keyed....correct?
I guess the non keyed would look more 'correct' keeping the key in the dash.
And is length just a preference thing also?
What have others used? Thanks again for the help. Looking to get the truck on the road by the end of summer so my daughter can drive it when she gets her license.
Wish me luck...both for getting it done and the kid driving it.
