can you use any of them with the key on the dash or just certain years?

Pretty much any of them with the key in the dash. I think they quit in 1982, but not positive on that.

I did a search and someone mentioned motor home columns is this the motorhomes with the van chassis or just any early one with gm column?

you can use any van tilt 73-early82 then they switch to in the collum. i think the earlier collums have the horse shoe plug still and the later ones have a flat plug. but GM sells an adapter i heard. TxFirefighter has a motorhome tilt in his truck (i belive) but i think it would be easier to find a van tilt than a motorhome tilt.

Yes, I have the motorhome tilt in my truck.

72 - 81/early 82
There is another variable too, the early van tilts...normally the ones with the horse shoe shaped plug, will have a long shofter handle...like the stock non tilt in the truck. If you have inbstalled a smaller than stock wheel, the shifter looks kinda goofey...the later van tilts have a nice shorter shifter.
