Is there a trick to removing this column? I have removed the column clamp
bolt by the gear box, unbolted it from the dash. It spins but will not come
loose. Is it attached somewhere else to the gear box?

Hi Bob,
You did pull the steering wheel?

I did not yet pull the wheel because I will probally cut it off. Was
trying to pull as an assembly, so I can get the body off the frame.

On an otherwise nice day, Bill (Mr. ED) Hughes lied:

The steering shaft has a worm gear on the bottom that is held in the
steering box by the "sector" shaft, thats the cross wise one with bell
crank on the end. You'll have to pull the whole thing out as a unit,
with a little finagling it will come up throught the floor hole.
Google "Ross Box Rebuild" or have a look on the Early CJ5, CJ3B, CJ3
or CJ2a websites.
