My mechanic built me a steering column from a hacked up 64 box with a stub shaft coming out of it (previously pictured in my build thread) and a 67 shaft that my good friend Pat from Nebraska was kind enough to give me. Here's the notes from my mechanic, and the pictures he took. It came out GREAT, and I can't wait to put it into the truck.

I posted this same thing on my build thread, but I thought it was cool enough to post separately in this forum.

Quick description of what he did.
1. Cut off original shaft 1.25" from box
2. Mount in Milling machine and set shaft level with table. Lock shaft from turning
3. Mill shaft with a 1" end mill to spec's measured from U-joint. Slight press fit
4. Instal shaft and measure how much needs to be removed
5. Cut shaft in a place that wont interfere with inside of column cover
6. Make second cut to remove extra length
7. Machine a collar on the lathe from a 1" solid bar stock (press fit)
8. True up both halfs and TIG weld collar
9. Lock-tite all hardware
