It would be a good idea for you to fill out your profile because we have NO idea what year car you;re talking about, and there were several different styles of columns.
Also, as a Vette owner it would be a good idea for you to get an assembly manual for your year of Vette, called an AIM. You can buy it through Mid-America Corvette Catalog.
Maybe if we find out what year and what type of column, a member will have the correct AIM manual page and they will scan and post it.
We need that info to help.

The AIM won't do you any good with respect to reassembling your steering column. You need a Chevrolet Chassis Service Manual. First of all what year Vette do you own. Second of all, do you have a standard (non-adjustable) column or a T&T?
This link might be of assistance:
www.corvettefaq.com
click on Jim Shea's steering papers
click on Corvette steering papers
Go down to Std Strg columns or
Go down to Tilt & Telescoping steering columns
Click on the appropriate Papers and Pics as well as the blow ups.

Downloading the papers, blowups, and pics should provide quite a bit of information on reassembling your T&T steering column. However, if you are still stuck, take a digital picture of the column and the part(s) that you are now trying to assemble. Post them here or just start a new thread. I am sure that we can help you get it back together.
Please try to call out any parts that you are working on by the names and/or numbers that are used in the blowups and pics.
Good luck,
Jim

What's on the menu right now? It's true they have to be worked on in stages or you never get anything done.

Well, Im waiting to get the spindels back from the shop. When I get the spindels back I can reassemble the rear and get it back in. I have the trans out and am going to take that to the shop to have it gone over to make sure it is good and in working order. I would realy like to pull the motor and go over that and paint it up nice, but all of those vacuum lines and linkages and electrical connections are scary. Its not like the old fords I used to work on when I was young. They were much simpler.

The vacuum can be a bit daunting for sure, but with a diagram in hand, and using tape to mark what goes where it's really pretty easy. Just go slow, and be careful. Th electrical isn't bad, and in fact can be pretty easy.
