Astro van steering column in square body

Hey

Im putting together and old beater truck i got, but parts like the column and alot of other stuff is gone.

I got a friend who has a 88 or 89 astro van that is rotten that is going to get scraped in the near future, As parts for US vehicles in general are crazy expensive over here in europe, i was thinking about adapating it to my C30. the few columns i have found for square body here forsale or have been offerd when i seached for them want in the neigborhood of 1000$ for used sloppy one with no keys.

So a google and the mounting bracket looks the same so im woundering if it can be made to work on a square body truck?

Im picking other stuff like the good 700r4 for a core rebuild to go onto the the 350 that i have for this also

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

I would say there is a fair chance that it may fit.
