Re: Steering Column

Tilts didnt come in trucks/vans until 71 or 72, the vans had tilt columns without the key until about 80-81, but they are shorter than truck columns.

Truck tilts started having the key I think 73

Re: Steering Column

You might have to buy a intermediate section from your rag joint to the column, not sure, but thats about it...

Re: Steering Column

There are a few ways how to do it. Do a search for steering column. I've done mine wasn't that bad.
