keeping the factory steering column

[shobans]

If you want to keep the factory steering column, you'll need to shorten it at a point approximately seven inches out of the firewall, with about 1 1/4 inch of the shaft hanging out. You'll also need to mill a flat on the shaft, corresponding to a "double D" U-joint and requisite stub shaft. This will be used to connect the steering to the AGR rack that comes with the chassis. If you don't have access to a mill, an aftermarket replacement column will work.

This is very useful, I planned on keeping the factory column and I think that this post will help me do that. I honestly prefer the factory steering column, which is what pushed me to the decision of keeping it.

Ok this is great. Could you please post some pictures so that I can do this myself?
