Yet another tilt column question. This one: Using a '91 suburban column.

I know there is a multitude of tilt column threads here, but most of the more relevent ones seem to be older. Anyway I am in search of a '69-72 Jimmy/Blazer project and doing a little research here. I currently have a '91 Suburban sitting idle that I plan on parting out for some of the components I may need and sell off the rest. I am going to probably use the buckets and the 3rd row seat, but would also like to use the tilt column and have it all work. How much work is this? I guess it is a larger diameter than the stock column? Is the length the same? I plan on replacing the steering with a mustang rack anyway so I'm not so concerned with the hookup to the stock steering box, I figure that will get sorted out with the new joints I'll need to get anyway. I know the key is on the column, but I kind of want that.

I also plan to do a vintage air setup and was thinking of ditching the stock center vent location and replacing it with 2 side vent "eye balls" where the original key and cigarette lighter are on either side of the H/A controls so I have space for a double DIN reciever/nav on top, is there enough depth for that there? Also is there anyone that has retrofitted delay wipers?
