Look at the parts catalog pic in post 3.

Since the steering shaft goes directly into the gearbox, the whole enchilada must be removed from the truck as a one piece assembly.
Doesn't matter what type of trans it has, same jazz applies to all M/T's & A/T's.

I guess my question for you is "what did you do to connect the old column to the power steering after removing the box"?
I have the box somewhat apart, the wheel off, but have not removed the shaft/worm yet, as I was not sure what stays and what goes off this older unit. Any advice is most welcome
Thx...

I know this post is 3+ months old, but I just came across this same situation this week - bought a column, but new front end will be power steering.
