I'm assuming by your username and profile this is a 54 F-100 we are talking about.
Do you know if the truck has the "Ford-O-Matic" (stock automatic transmission) installed in it? If it does then the steering column with the auto shifter could be stock (if it hasn't been replaced with somethng else). The steering box and shaft (that the steering wheel would attach to) would be the same as on a truck with a Manual Transmission, IF it's the original column. So, another question is do you have the stock steering box on it?
Here's a diagram of the 54/55 Ford-O-Matic steering column and steering box/shaft:
Pictures would help us alot in identifying what you have!
