Tilt column question

I had searched the FAQ and here, and I can't seem to find my answer. What is the difference between the mid 70's van and truck tilt columns?? I want a floor shift tilt column and was hoping these were the same fit, or maybe I could make them fit. I can only find info on the van columns. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays everyone.

Re: Tilt column question

the shaft on the van unit is a couple inches longer, and the neutral safety switch is up a little higher.
in all reality, that's about it.

Re: Tilt column question

The van column is pretty easy really & making one smooth for a floor shift isnt too bad either. Here are a few links & a couple pics of the van tilt I smoothed for a floor shift. Ill have to do the neutral switch on the shifter though...
