Thanks, man! The column I ended up with is a '65 Pontiac fullsize tilt (So Bonneville or Catalina). As far as the splines are concerned, any '60s GM column should work, they all had the same splines. The Pontiac column was attractive because it already had a bearing built into the bottom of it, so I didn't have to do any conversion to run it with the S10 box.
