grab one from a ps truck. a manual column is either too long or too short.

You won't need a PS column to convert a 4WD to PS. Owners of 2WD trucks have to though, due to the location of the steering box. Because the 4WD boxes are located farther forward, you can use you existing column, though depending on what kind of conversion you do and what box you use, you might need to rework/replace the shaft that extends between the box and column.
