tilt steering column?

I know its hard to find one for a OK price from a 70s Ford, but has anyone used one from a van? or 80s truck? Maybe even swapped in a Chevy one?

I searched, but could only find stock swaps or aftermarket ones

Theirs a guy in Lincoln, NE that has factory tilt colums on Ebay starting at $175ish I think. I gave $150 for the one I bought for a project a while back and never used

$45 at the local U Pull It but good luck beating the Ebay guy. I wasted 3 months going in their when they opened & had a buddy calling me a day before they were gonna roll out a 73-79 & I couldn't get to them before him. I have mine complete colum, steering shell & horn pad listed at $150 same as what I spent on it. That's better than $175 for one without a wheel or horn pad on it. Either way its still cheaper than what LMC wants for one. Lol

I might have to keep you in mind, how bad is shipping on something like that?

How about a tilting and telescoping steering column?

Don't think the Econoline column would work. According to the Ford parts catalog, the van column is about 7" longer than the truck.
I would've thought it would be shorter but guess not.
