If there is only just over an inch of lower shaft sticking out the bottom... it may be truck tilt.

I got a tilt column out of a mid-70's Rally-six GMC van. Steering wheel is identical to my stock steering wheel (even down to the cracks ). But the wiring plug and neutral safety switch was different. Aside from that, would this tilt column be pretty much the same as the stock tilt columns for 67-72? Btw, the van tilt did NOT have a steering arm, I used my own.

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other.
See which one gets filled first.
