It can be done.. I put one in my 65 and yes I know that is different then the earlier models. I welded two nuts on the bottom of the column so I could use the stock mount and run the stock hand brake. You will have to figure out the wires as the plugs will be differnt. it can be done but it will not just bolt in. I have two columns downstairs and dought I will even use one of them. I am using one from an 88 suburban. It has the wiper switch in the column and I can use the cruise control also if I want too. I will be using pretty much all the wiring and computer from the 88 also..
