Steereing column length

[kens65fb]

I'm going to replace the crappy tilt column in my 64 C-10.
The column is an automatic tilt column from an unknown GM donor.
The automatic shifter is sloppy, and the ignition switch is sloppy as well.

I don't want to use a column from a 70's van, and can't afford an ididit, or flaming river direct fit column.

I would like to use a universal column, what would be the best length to buy ??


Has anyone used a universal column, if so what length.

Thanks
