When we swapped the 82 Collum into a 77 we also had to swap the rag joint

I remember years ago I was involved with some swapping this to that stuff & remembered there was something about the set-up @ the base of the column being different where the lower coupler goes on...the newer is splined & the older has a rectangle stamped into the end of the tube or something like that. As Capt. memtioned...If you have the whole thing (column & lower shaft) it goes in, which is what I remembered it. I'll have to see what the '82 has...I may need to hunt down a lower. When I changed to a tilt/cruise column in my 4x4 (from a '79-'80 Blazer), I just got the column, so I have the non-tilt from it ('78) to use in this truck, I re-used the lower at that time without issue.
