Need help with 66 steering column.

Well, I made a mistake and bid on a steering column on Ebay that I didn't realize until near the end of the auction had no internals....it was just a tube with some wiring, so it looks like now I have to come up with some internals for it, a steering shaft, whatever bearings they use and some mounts and seals I guess, my NPD catalog has breakdown diagrams, but they don't even list a steering shaft part number...now I DON'T need the steering box and couldn't even use it anyway since I have a mustang II front suspension with a rack and pinion unit anyway...as it is I'm going to have to make or find intermediate shafts, I prefer to make them, but that's just me being cheap and not wanting to pay $150+ for the kit(besides I can find most parts I would need in a junkyard and can weld up whatever else so I'm not too worried about it) so I guess what I am really asking is where can I find internals? or am I going to have to use used ones?

presumably I could use a 67 shaft? are they the same diameter?

hmm, that sucks, I don't want to have to buy a steering box if I don't need it...anyone know the diameter of the shaft? is it possible to pull a longer shaft from another car and cut it down? as far as the mustang II kit R&P its actually a foxbody rack as far as I know, so finding a joint of some type should be easy...just about any shaft will work if its long enough(again, probably a foxbody shaft would be fine, I can weld two together if i need to)

I have no wheel yet(plan on some woodgrain one, most likely a grant) but thanks, I'll look into the heidt's kit if it isnt too much and see what I can come up with
