The .885" is from a "BIG" truck.
the column drop seems to be the same. But the tube has thicker material wall thickness, so the I.D. is smaller and won't fit on a passenger car box.
the pitman shaft is also a bigger diameter, so it won't fit through the car frame.
Also the mount flange is "clocked" different, so it won't work in a car.
