Wow!! that went slick. The pitman arm came off fairly easily with a pry bar. Then the bolts on the steering assembly were no problem. I took the clutch and break pedals off with a strap wrench and the steering column came out with no problems.
I am constantly amazed at how these 55 year old bolts and parts seem to work very smoothly. Only the fender and running board bolts have caused some consternation.

Thanks for the pointers they were a big help.
