99, Thanks for the heads up. I'm using a TH350, shoved 2 inches back so I'll have to do some measuring to ensure that a 4x4 shaft will work. Having the current shaft cut/balanced only cost about $60, but requires driving to KC twice (50mi each way).

Mknittle, found my steering column today. 66 Chevy pickup, auto trans, non-tilt, with the cool clear shift indicator on top, and it's non keyed (ignition on the dash). Perfect.

I also located the brake pedal assembly, power steering pump, and nice side glass.

Shorty also had a Cool 51 COE (used to be a tow truck so it had a really short frame)... He's got quite a collection, at least 6 or 8 55-59's (one 57 GMC with a 347 Pontiac) and I counted 5 AD trucks, 7 or 8 67-72's, and 7 or 8 63-66's.... I know where to find parts now!
