What year truck. Most of them you remove holding bolt from steering coupler. Remove bolts at firewall holding column and seal.
Remove shift link.
Unbolt from dash
Unhook turn signal wires.
Column should then pull out
Hope this helps.

Dumb question. Did you pull bolt out of rubber steering coupler. It is a splined shaft with a knotch. So bolt needs to be pulled out,if i remember right.

Remember no "Dumb Questions". The only dumb question is the one not asked. That is the only way any of us learned this stuff was to ask dumb questions.

Any way aslong as you unbolted all the connectors and brackets the column should slip out. Unless something is warped, twisted, mushroomed...etc. then you have a problem (trust me lots of swearing, truck hit a GOOD size rock and it bent everything. Not a slick but it still applies).

61-64 have the columns attached to the gear box. You have to remove both as they are one piece.

I've got a 62 and a 63 and the steering shaft that the steering wheel bolts to is part of the gear box. The column slides over the shaft. Column comes off while the shaft stays with the box.
