I think that is a 72 (or 71-72, or 67-72... i.e. I don't know how many years they had that were common columns in the 67-72 series, but that looks a whole lot like a 72 Cheyenne I had. You are correct - no 60-66 had a hazard flasher switch in the column.

Probably the more important question is whether or not it was an auto or manual column to begin with - does it have the manual shifter ears at the end of the column to attache the shifter rods to (i.e. rods between the end of the column and the trans)? If so, they you probably just need the shifter rod on the interior end like you're talking about - if not, then you probably have an automatic column. I've enclosed some pics of what I mean by shifter "ears" - the pic is of the business end of a 666 manual column - but the end of a 72 manual column should have about the same look/connections.

You probably already know all this, just posting just in case.
