Need Advice on Steering Column Problem
So I loosened my steering column enough to slide the shaft out to change the lower bearing. I got the shaft out and replaced the adjusting ring, bearing and spring. I'm now trying to put it back together and it's like it's too long now. I can't get the column to go back where it was so I can bolt it back in. Any thoughts on this?

It's a 1969 no tilt. It's a 4 on the floor but it may have been a converted 3 on the tree.

I'm not sure what the upper shift collar is. The ring and bearing are in correctly.

I did not take that off. I'll get a picture tomorrow and post it. I've given up for the night. This truck was pieced together from a couple different trucks by the PO so I don't know the entire history. The odd part is that it seemed to work fine before the lower bearing failed. I'll post tomorrow and thanks for the help.

I was just looking at the shop manual and I see that my upper shaft has a collar that looks to be pressed on and it's right above the splines on the lower end. So my thick washer is up against that instead of up against the coupling clamp like the manual shows. If that collar wasnt there I think I'd be fine. This is really confusing now. I'll take a picture tomorrow.
