I used on in a 51 Ford PU project years ago. It came from a 77 Chrysler New Yorker.

For the Mopars they were used from the early 60 thru the end of the full size era in the late 70's. You usually saw them in the large top of the line New Yorkers and Imperials, although I did see one in a Cordoba once.

I believe the early units were telescoping only and made by Chrysler. The later units were Tilt/Telescoping and actually made by GM. They used GM Turn signal switches and there was a short adaptor harnesss to connect them to the Chrylser wiring Harness (it was kind of interesting wiring it until I found out it was a GM TS switch and color coding).
