The whole column assembly has to come out of the car, but it sounds more difficult than it actually is.

It's pretty simple in the end. There aren't that many parts inside the column, and nothing...

For 1966, the steering shaft is indeed one continuous death-spear from box to wheel. No intermediate shaft. Yours has had some creative work done onto it for who knows what reason.

A spacer will make the issue worse, no? You want the wheels to be more inboard, not outboard. The lower the offset number, the more outboard they go. You have a 0mm offset, which means your wheels...
