Later locking van columns fit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Howdy,

I was just wondering if anyone knows if the later van columns that lock and have a key cylinder in the side are the same length as the earlier ones that everyone uses for swaps into 67-72 trucks. Are the key cylinder and addition of wiper controls the only difference? I am having trouble finding an earlier van column at a reasonable price and might just use a later one that locks and just use the column ignition switch instead of the one on the dash. Thanks!

Mike

I've heard, (no first hand experience)) that the columns with the key switch, won't fit? Something about the diameter? Ask Longhornman, I think he's got the facts/figures about this?
