No, there are various lengths of the stand alone drop. Someone may post the part numbrt.
if it takes the “F” code ( I think it does since it has bucket seat) they are a bit scarce.
Ooops…my thinking went to the drop..not whole column. Bill is correct as below. My bad..

All 1930-31 Model A two tooth steering columns are the same. The only change was in late 1930 to the upper shaft bushing. For the Victoria you can use any steering column after the change. If you have the Restoration Guidelines, see page 8-1 to 8-3.
Steering Column spacer - all Victorias with a flat firewall used a 2" spacer between the fuel tank mount and the steering column.
The part number for the later style steering column support is A 3520F. It is used on Indented firewall (after about May 1931) Victorias, Convertible Sedans and Deluxe Phaetons. For the Victoria, they were painted black.

The pickups had the short column for January and February 1930. All the rest for 1930 & 31 are the same as mentioned.

My early steel-back Victoria originally had the steering column support on the gas tank as shown in Bill's Post #3 in the left photo. However, after reading several reports of the gas tank support developing gasoline leaks, I incorporated the later design steering support that attaches to the dash rail. The conversion is not difficult to do because it is a nut & bolt change (no new holes). However, it leaves an eyesore; The gas tank bracket is an ugly sight. In the future I am going to use the gas tank mount to hold an accessory tachometer.
