Probably the bearing in the shaft is frozen.
There are 2. One just below the steering wheel, one above the steering box. Pour oil down the shaft to lube the top one. Drill a hole top dead center in the top of the shaft pipe. Drill it in the pipe in the engine compartment, near the firewall. Don't worry too much about the shavings, as they will fall against the bottom of the shaft pipe and not hit the lower bearing.
Or use a vacume when you drill. Once the hole is drilled squirt a whole lot of oil in the hole and try to work it free. Also fill the gear box with oil. This will probably fix it.
