Munday,
Ive done lots of 67-72 Chevy pu's... A friend does a lot of the 64-66s. We found the tilt columns out of the 70s GM vans are about a direct bolt in. Altho, they are getting harder to find.
You would still use your dash mounted key with these.. no locks/ ignitions in the column. I like these bcause they look original from the inside.
If interested in more info, let me know..

I did a 55 GMC P/U used a 80's s/column with the lock and mustang II power rack & pinion.
Worked great. If you use a GM p/s pump it needs a pressure reducer kit.
