which steering column do I need?

I am needing a steering column for my 65 f100, I want to keep the manual steering, but it has to have the auto. shifter on the column. Which columns are the right length? I know that I will have to use the mounting bracket of my 65 column. i have been looking for a 65-66 auto column, but no luck. One more question, will a 65 steering wheel fit a 78 column? Thanks for any help.

*****, Your problem is going to find a column for manual steer. The trucks kinda changed to power steering and auto about the same time. They are out there but will require much more searching. You might want to look for 68-72 donor trucks.
