Yes...

Andy what your doing is exactly how I did the one for my 65 Bel II...
I had a 65 Column shift auto that came in my Bel II and bought a 64 floor shift column that had a bent p/s shaft...
I used it installing a manual shaft from a 63 Dodge 3 on the tree car to make one for my 65... hammer

I've never seen any type of lower bearing and as you previously mentioned they are all solid shafts... up

...FAFO...
