My '69 Pontiac (really Impala) uses ball bearings in the collapsing section. I guess if I knew where the safety features of this column were I'd feel better changing it.
Of course for all I know those safety features that came in the 65-67 timeframe didn't apply to trucks...

I'm not sure where you read that there are two roll pins in the intermediate shaft. I don't think there are any. I didn't put any pins in mine. The original "pins" that Putter drilled out aren't really pins at all but just plastic that is injected into the intermediate shaft at the factory.
