Forget the splines (80+ on the 75)
The boss is about 0.25 inches smaller in diameter.
Sorry about that.

There is ample meat on the boss to drill it out, and being aluminium, I suppose you could use a scrap 75 steering column as a broach, and gradually engineer the boss to fit.
You would need (ideally) a hydraulic press.
You also need to reproduce the taper.
Having said this, the legalities surrounding the air bag issue would prevent me from actually doing it.
