The one truck tilt column (not a van column) that I had, had the same knob on the turn signal as the standard columns.

Mine's hard plastic but it's also got cruise control so it's a little different looking. Guess I'm of no help

But as far as I've seen they have the same arms, but then again I'm finding different arms on a few cause owners have switched them out for whatever reason.

I agree with Special K, I just did mine and you can use the other style nob on there if you choose. My issue was I didn't understand that the the shift levers were different. Even when I got the right one, I had to file the sides to get to fit and operate correctly in my new tilt column. Good Luck with it.
