collapsible steering shaft

The early model column are simple compairatively. There is a snap ring above the upper bearing to remove .Both pieces go out the bottom end. I'd put 2 new bearings in it if it doesn't have them already. I can't imagine why someone would do a half restore unless....
If its a manual steering shaft in a power steering car. The "pin it" holes aligned would place the shaft 3 inches too long.
