Not sure. It came with the truck. I already had a 79 TA tilt column but decided to use the other because it is a column shift. If I had to guess I'd say it is a mid to late 70's full size car column. It was the same length as the TA tilt column and I think the truck versions are longer. Based on the diameter of the pipe it would be the same operation and the tilt heads are interchangeable. You'll have to make some tools to get the thing apart but if you can manage it, it is alot cheaper. I would suggest practice with a junker column first and get a good copy of an exploded diagram from a factory GM manual. These things have about a billion parts in them.
