thanks for the vote of confidence on the repair.. hate flat surfaces that are really visible..
on the column, its a generic from CPP, from EBAY, another one for sale here Universal Chrome Shift Steering Column With Tilt 30" | eBay
I don't think this one has a detent plate to change..

BTW- Yeah hands down Ben's dash is the winner for being grossely hacked. I bet the whole thing is warped to beat hell and will probably never be straight again it its life. Freakin hacks... just too bad.

Huh... that's the same exact column i bought, but i only got one shift arm (the bent one) and the OD indicator. Weird. I'll have to get ahold of them and see if I can get the other indicator.

Is this column going to fit my 56 with stock front end ? I am planning on doing the front end but my shifter is not that great and I want to put a billet steering wheel so I figured might as well get this column .

Sam- I think you'll be more than pleased witht he results. Looks like you're off to a good start. I got faith in ya!
Oh and btw- didn't find any extra PRND21 in my box.
Also realized mine was not from CPP but another outfit. Bought it a while back and got confused where i got it from. Box, packaging, etc.. looked the same as yours tho. Will just have to source another indicator.
@HEAVY100-- I guess that all depends on what steering you're running. I have stock suspension but am using the Toyota p/s conversion. Seems to work great so far, got it mounted up tonight. Just need to tackle the shift linkage now...

and there is an arm available to connect to the stock draglink.
then u can use any steering column above it that has some adapter from its shaft style to the Toyota box input shaft.
