You need to cut your column out of the steering box.Once you have this done you will cut the steel tube up about 1 inch to expose the steering shaft.
Then you will need to make a bushing to secure the steering shaft from moving around.The bushing will need to pressed into the column and this will stay there.Once this is done you will need to buy a few steerig u-joints and a d/d shaft to hook up to your rack.It does take some work to do it the correct way.If you want the stock look this will have to be done.
