The van steering columns are very plentiful but are not the same length so the will not fit.
The steering wheels will fit though.

Went by yard yesterday b4 I got started working on my 76 after nightshift. Seems like someone went through n bought up all the steering wheels or just horn pressplate off all relevant vehicles. Man that sucked. Got a good look at the windshield off a 78 an 77 both clean no cracks, think they want $75, so I have my new target for payday. Thanks for info

Welcome to FTE, hang in there with it all.

PM means "Private Message" its a way one FTE member can contact you about something he has for sale or ect.... without the general public viewing it.

Meaning personal discussion and not clogging up the public forum.

Once you get a PM, you will get a message from FTE, cruise around your "user cp" top L/H corner and get to know how to operate on here, it help out.

When you get 25 posts you can put what you own in a sig at the bottom of each reply, till then put your vehicle info in the question to help out the folks replying.
