Manual vs Power Steering Shafts

In another post a member was asking about what is needed to go from manual to power steering (I believe his car was a 70 up)

I needed to swap shafts on my67 Dart #2, I'm going from power to manual (I did not want to use an adapter) so I documents the shaft lengths and details.

67-69 A bodies... (70 starts a different set of part numbers AND this does not cover the BB specific shaft for 68-69)

Steering shaft (Section 19-15-4)
Manual Steering 2880169
Power Steering 2880170

Notice the lower shaft is shorter on the PS vs the Manual not just the length of the bottom with the cross bars

Taper / weld on the lower shaft lined up (and no you can not just drill a new hole the other end will be short)
