would a tilt column from ther than truck and vans work in our trucks? like a camaro or so?

You'd have to take measurements, also check the diameter of the column... I'm sure there might something out there that'll work.
The issue you'll have, most cars went to column mounted igniton switches by the time the tilt wheel came into play.

I know that the 70- 77 camaro and firebird column is a direct fit for the 73-80 trucks other than that I am unsure it would be cool to be able to mount into 67 - 72 trux but do not think its going to be a direct fit my .02 Mike

Wouldn't be a direct fit.

EARLY CAMARO OR IMPALA TILT COLLUMNS SEEM TO BE VERY VALUABLE. (CHECK ON EBAY) FOR WHAT YOU COULD SELL A NICE ONE FOR,YOU COULD BUY A BRAND NEW IDIDIT TILT. BUT I'M SURE YOU COULD MAKE EM WORK.
(MORAL OF THE STORY.... IN YOUR JUNKYARD TRAVELS IF YOU FIND A TILT OUT OF AN OLD CHEVY, & HAS THE IGN. IN THE DASH... GRAB IT & PUT IT ON EBAY. THEY ARE WORTH A FORTUNE.
