Re: van column
looking at your screen name I'll assume you have a 68.
Some 68 trucks had a collapsible intermediate shaft, some did not.
When you removed your original column, was it a solid one piece shaft clear to the steering gear box? If so, you'll need to obtain a lower intermediate shaft from a late 68 - 72 truck, and you'll then find the van column to be too long. You'll have to shorten the lower shaft by hammering it to where it collapses and is a couple inches shorter. It is pretty easy.
