Issue with steering wheel/column.

I bought this truck a few weeks ago with a 3-spd/non-tilt column and a cracked wheel. Picked up another wheel at a swap meet and just went to install today. Now I’m not sure if this problem was already there as I haven really driven the truck much. But when I went to install the wheel I noticed the shaft inside the column will pop out about an inch when you pull back on the wheel. At first I thought the wheel might not be tight enough but after an impact driver and 1/2” ratchet I’m sure it’s on tight. Is there a part I’m missing or something in the column broke.
