Steering column splines

I have an intermediate steering column that is a bit too short. I have another that is slightly longer but needs the splines cut into one end.
As this intermediate column has a fixed universal joint on the other end, and the shaft only sticks out about five inches from the U/J, does anyone know if it is still possible to have splines cut on this?
I'm presuming the shaft has to fit inside the chuck of a lathe so am hoping the u/j will not interfere with it.
Any opinions welcome.
Simon
