Did you pull the steering wheel there is a bushing in there that needs to come out also that rubber seal at the bottom of the column gave me a fit when I pulled mine I used a scewdriver on that and prided the colum off of it.

Kyle...hate to be a pain...but can I ask you a question? The initial pics you posted, the top showing the steering box...there are 3 bolts holding the box to the frame rail...in that pic, right where the fuel line turns to run outside the apron.. what is that bolt with the triangle looking spacer? I have a 65 torn apart...and I already got a few answers just from your pics...Thans for help!
