I'll report back!

Soooo. Yeah. I think your'e right, Rusty.
Here's the photos, clearly it's keyed. I think the reason I was of the belief that mine wasn't keyed is because when the shaft is collapsed (like when you push it up out of the way to do headers) the upper and lower shafts are no longer engaged internally, so you can actually spin the lower shaft completely independent of the upper shaft. That's how you can end up with your steering wheel misaligned even though the shaft is clearly keyed. What a pain the ***! haha.
