Does this steering column look right.

This came out of my '69 3/4 GMC. I thought 69-72 were 2 piece. Well, the body shop removed it and I'm not sure if everything is here. The rag joint is on the gear box. So does this connect directly to the gear box?? Thanks.

Cannot see the picture, but the column has an intermediate shaft (collapsible) that connects the column to the steering box.

I wonder how our why a '67 column ended up in this truck. Well, it's been working, I guess I'll reuse it.

Yep , I have no idea when I'll ever finish changing things , Project creep is a disease and I tested positive . There are a ton of guys in here that can rattle off part #'s by memory , and build customs better than Chip Foose.
