Which steering columns fit?

I've got a 31 Ford with the Vega gear box mounted in it. What steering columns will fit the splines on the Vega gear box?

 

you do it something like this:

 

^^^^ saved a thousand words right there.

 

You pick whatever steering column you like and get or make adapters to convert the Vega spline to whatever output your steering column has. I had to cut a rag joint off of my steering column shaft and weld on a U joint.Then I got an adapter for the Vega shaft from Borgensen and connected them with a shaft as shown in 49ratfink's photo.

 

Do what 56 don said..... Easiest way !

Okie dokie. Thanks for the input. I've seen some of the joints you can buy and weld up. We were just trying to see if there was a junk yard combo we could find. I bet the 70's Novas had a similar spline count as the Vega. I guess we'll just find out.

 

I think that the Vega had a rag joint on the box originally and it bolted to the flange on the GM steering column. If you are looking for that then just find a 5/8 X 36 spline (pretty small)rag joint and bolt it to your column if it also used a rag joint.
I have a column out of about a 65 Chevelle that I could have used if it would have fit my angle and distance but it did not co I cut the rag joint flange off and welded on a U joint. Does that help any at all?

 

I used a pair of Borgeson joints, with a DD shaft between. For a 31 Ford, I'd go with a small diameter column, to keep the "look", but it's a personal choice.
