Tittle says it all. I have a 71-72 column but I don't know what it came out of, It is for an A body. How can I tell which column I have?
 
Forgot about the spline count. Luckily the coupler is still on it so I can check it. Thanks
 
If we look very close at the steering shaft we can find a pretty weld bead all the way around the final member. So they're all the same length until this member is welded on. Weld at a inch or so from box coupling is power steering shaft. Lay your hand between weld and box coupling with space to spare, its a manual shaft.
