I have a 1965, V8, Automatic mustang with manual steering and I'm looking into buying a rack and pinion power steering conversion kit. I did some searches on steering kits and noticed that some of them encourage you to get their aftermarket GM Spline steering columns:

and others seem to work just fine with your stock existing steering column, such as Randalls kit.

My question is what are the tradeoffs (aside from paying for an aftermarket steering column) between me keeping my stock steering column or getting an after market one. Is the aftermarket column shorter then the stock one? Is it easier to mount an after market steering wheel on the after market steering column then on the stock one?
What do you guys recommend.
