I can measure my stock 59 column when I get home this evening, if that is the question you are asking.

Re: 55/59 Steering Column Question?
Early Models had a flat steering wheel i.e. 55-56 and 57-59 had a dish steering wheel that is why lenght difference. I cut down a 55 to use on a 59 once all I did was after welding I sleeved it and welded for safety
