Not sure if this helps, but here are some pix of the box for a 1967 Monza
that might show something useful?

Subject: <VV> Looseness in steering column

Hi folks,

I have kind of a strange problem with our (LA built) '66 Corsa with a
standard column.  The steering wheel has slop in it relative to the column.
This isn't steering box slop, I can grab the wheel and move it up and down.
The column itself is tight to the body, the problem seems to be that the
steering shaft is loose in the column.  Is there some adjustment to the
bearings?  I seem to recall just a snap ring at the top, but I don't know
how the rest of it looks.
