The Ford Barn

One of my 34 Fords is simple, unrestored, driver-fun quality. I removed the steering column, intact, for a thorough rebuild of the steering box. I do not have a key for the steering lock in this car and have never had luck with a locksmith being able to pick this lock. After the complete rebuild, I cannot get the steering shaft tube re-installed to the appropriate, all-the-way down position. The hollow tube seems to jamb with two inches left to be covered above the steering box. What am I doing wrong? Thx!
