I have the column out of my '59 and measured it. From the box where the
column is attached to end point of the shaft is 36". to the bottom of the
splines is 34 3/4". to the top of the splines is 35 1/4". The steering wheel
is 5 1/4" deep from the top of the wheel to the bottom of the splines.(as it
lays on the bench without the bottom cone). hope those measurements make
sense.
I have no idea if they will bolt up.........
