I found a tilt column at my local junk yard for 100 bucks if I pull it with the steering wheel. Seems like a decent price. What my question is will it be a good fit? I have a 1971 Chevy c 10 long bed with the 350/350 combo. The donor column is coming out of a what looks like a mid 70s chevy camper. Here are the pictures I got of it. In the camper the key is on the dash. I know that is a good thing. What other key features should I evaluate prior to pulling it. Length, wiring, switches etc.? Also wanted to know if there are any key parts that I should be sure and grab to ensure that it will transplant well into my vehicle?
