1955 vs 1956 steering column

[Edsel58]

Is there a difference in length on the columns. I mean since the 1956 steering wheels are deeper.

Not a 1957 question but I guess Im not the only one here that have had other model years...

Yes they are different lengths.

[Edsel58]

Is there any way to tell them apart?

to quote lou: "yes, they are different lengths" ??
  sorry, I'm being a smartass

If the shift lever is still on it, the '55 lever is straight, the '56 has an offset bent into it.  I think the shift knobs are different, but I can't help you there.   John
