If you can afford it Ididit Steering columns are the premier. If you’re wanting to try to pick one up at the local salvage yard look at E series (Vans). They have AOD, Tilt, Cruise, Hazards, etc. The older ones came without ignition switches built into them.

Why a van, what years? F150, Ranger? Is cruise on the column or wheel?

Most Ford cruises are on the wheel and I'm guessing that the length and angle have a bearing on the van suggestion .

The van columns do not have the fancy faring where it attaches/blends into the dash, so it doesn't need to be modified to mount to dash drop.
