Default Threads on steering shaft

Hi, I am working on my 19309 steering and wondering if the shaft could have been cut on the steering wheel end, the threads measure about 1/2" from the shoulder to the end of the shaft, it is just enough for the jam nut to fit. Thanks

One maybe two threads above the nut...if that.
From your description it sounds good to go, tighten it down good.

This threaded end is easily ruined. Use care , good judgement, and a light touch.
