Tilt vs. Non-Tilt questions....

[locab36]

Looking @ swapping my column. I have the manual column right now and bought a non-tilt column to replace it with. Currently using a B&M to shift also have 700r4 tranny. My non-tilt column needs cleaned up, paint and what not.
Looking at pics of the van and truck tilts I see the bottom of the column has no shifter dogs/stops like my non-tilt has. Are the tilt column dogs/stops internall in the housing? or do they just use the tranny detents to keep it in place? My brother has a line on a van tilt and I thought about using it. Also thought about using my non-tilt and modifying it for further travel for the 700r4 detents. Is this necessary or should I just bolt either in and adjust for fit/shift??
