Need help identifying an original 1967 non tilt automatic column

Since I had always been just into 71-72's this original 67 stuff is very remote for me for originality. Since I had frame up restored a number matching 66 Chevy pickup a few years back and just recently aquired a new 67 project to do the same, I have noticed some apparently 1 year only stuff on the 67.
Are the automatic steering columns used in 67's a 1 year only style or is 68, 68, and 70 the same? I realize the powerglide indicator is different but is the column the same all these years and maybe the indicator/ shifter bowl changed in the 71-72? Also is the automatic shift lever different for 67 and also is it different from the 3 speed manual lever? I plan to start searching for an original 67 column for a turbohydramatic and want it to be 100% correct for the 67 year. If the 67-70 are the same it will make this a lot easier to find.

Thanks for any help shed on this subject.
