A 3 spoke is 67-68, if the wheel and the column were originally together. The 67 column you could use, but personally I wouldn't. It is reall easy to tell a 67. It doesn't have the intermediate shaft. The shaft is one piece right out to the steering box. It is more of a safety issue. In a real bad front end accident, the steering column can be pushed out the back of the cab and usually the driver's face and chest is what keeps that from happening.

The only other thing I can think of is, what if it is an auto for a powerglide? Even if it was I think you can still use it. I could in my 65 Impala when I put in a th350. 1rst gear is still first, and drive is still drive, there just wasn't a 2nd gear detent. Hopefully you got a 68 column that was in something with a th400 transmission. So stay excited!
