High Terry. There are probably a lot of options for steering columns if you are not afraid to shorten one (it's really pretty simple). Personally I prefer the GM units. Mid 70's Chevy/GM vans sometimes have the tilt column and do not have the column mounted key and locking wheel. A lot of the 78-88 G Bodies have the tilt column and column mounted key and steeing wheel lock, they do not have the gear indicator mounted on the column however (The 78-80 units did not have the wiper switch on the turn signal stalk). You could also look at the higher 70s GM cars and you might end up scoring a tilt/telescoping unit. What ever you get you will want to get the plug and couple inches of wiring where the switches plug into the wiring harness.

I think most cab mounted pickup truck gas tanks are going to be too big, but it might be worth lookng at.
