The first picture shows the column I pulled out of my "village Idiot" build earlier today on the left, next to a 76 auto column "lower section" I have. You can see that the rag joint flange is part of the column of the one I just pulled out. Photo 2 shows the lower bushing, which is a skateboard wheel that was drilled out to size of the inner shaft and then cut in half so they could wrap it around the column and then wedge it into the tube. The third picture is of the lower end of the 76 column showing where the rag joint would bolt onto the column and the shifter linkage for a "stock" column. The one I removed has a modified flange as well.

Anyone seen a column like this before? Is it a cut down manual Column or possibly from something else?
