1980 van column

I got a without key, auto, tilt, no air bag, steering column today at the junk yard that I believe was from a 1980 van. I hope I can use it on the 66 C10.
My question is, how does the park lever and/or steering wheel lock out work? Is it somehow tied to the brake pedal? Thanks.

No connection to the brake, just pull the lever toward the driver and it will unlock.

Ignition does the lockout for steering wheel, I cant remember but it might also do the auto lever lock.

Re: 1980 van column

I think Katrina/10 gave me the answer I was looking for.

There is no ignition switch in this column, which is why I got it. The ignition was in the dash panel of the van.

I had it my car overnight. Man, what a stink. It literally has cigarette tar all over the thing. I don't know if I will be able to clean it well enough to get that smell out of it but perhaps by next year when I plan to do the auto swap it will be OK. On the upside I tried turning the wheel this morning and it turns nicely.
