I know the 67-72 tilt columns are a bit smaller in diameter than our years, so you have to either modify the bracket or thicken (pad) the column some. I have not done any later than that. I have heard the years like your donner truck are way fatter and require a fair amount of work to fit the stock dash mounts.
