what years of tilt columns will bolt right in?

Ok looking for a tilt column I have a 87 which obviously has the ignition on the side but i would like to have a column that does not and will bolt right in
I 10 years ago hacked up a old harness I had and made my 87 column use the wiper switch on the column and then blinkers so for now it will just plug right into my new truck but I want a column that looks good in my truck.
So I mainly want to know what years of trucks or cars or vans I need to look for will the 67-72 style work dont know those trucks

Re: what years of tilt columns will bolt right in?

Chevrolet van tilts from the '70s are probably the closest thing to a bolt in column. When one of these columns is used, you have to use an intermediate shaft to couple the column to the steering gear. The intermediate shaft from any '67-'72 Chevy truck will work. The wiring harness will have to be adapted to your truck harness.
When the column is installed, it can be positioned fore or aft in the truck to fit the driver.
I've modified these van tilts for many different vehicles. I have a lot of experience and am very familiar with these columns.

In addition to the full size vans, motorhomes and step vans also have a compatable steering column without an ignition on the column.
