Tilt or straight? 3 speed column, automatic, or floor shift?

Straight, auto, I may make it floor shift.

Look at LMC's catalog - it has a pretty good diagram of a blown-up steering column.

No part #'s, but will these help?

Well, I figure the bearings and the turn cam and springs are normally replaced. But what else is typically replaced in a column rebuild?

I just rebuilt my column. One thing you will need is the plastic bushing that goes on the end of the shift lever. It’s not listed on the above picture but you’ll want it. Call Wes at Classic Heartbeat.
