BBMopar's 73 Dart Swinger

While I'm at it, how can I inspect my steering column? The guy I got the car from pulled the orginal for his duster and put an extra in the car. He said I'd need a new one but this one steers fine. Doesn't seem loose or anything. It has some up/ down play from in the car but it doesn't have any support from the dash because once again the dash is shot. Thanks guys!
what do you mean no support from the dash?
