WHAT'S A QUICK AND EASY METHOD TO UPDATING THE FACTORY STEERING COLUMN FROM 1965A BODY? Updating what part for safety? I have swap columns in several early, pre 1970, Mopars with later ones

. Depending on how much exposed steering shaft exists below the column housing you can cut it off and add a DD slip joint from there to the shaft/box coupler. If not enough is exposed it may be possible to disassemble and install it mid span between the upper and lower support bearings in the column housing. Or find one from a later model as stated by others. If you make a DD slip joint, with the shaft at its installed length install a nylon screw from the outer DD into the inner dd to keep it from moving in and out
