Identifying tilt column?

[bobvilla67]

Can someone tell me if the column without wheel, the dirtier one on the left in first pic,is a van column or just an earlier model? I have had them both for awhile just thought they were the same,now just noticed the difference. I pulled the one with the wheel out of a 71,which looked like it was original. is the trans shifter lever bent or suppose to be that way?Thanks in advance.

Those are both real truck tilts, the one without the wheel, the lever is just bent, probably got bent pulling it out of the truck, just bend it back. It is an earlier one though, you can tell by the small hole and one slot for mounting, where as the later ones have two slots.

Thanks guys. It had been awhile since I had them out that I had forgotten for sure what it had come out of,I was pretty sure it wasn't a van but wanted to make sure.
