Steering column part - What is its purpose? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I bought this at Wheels day to fit to my truck.

Understood to be from a Chevy Day van of unknown vintage.

I was wondering if anyone knows what it's cab.e operated section is for?

If you turn the ignition key beack and push it in after turning it to the "off" position, it activates a cable in there, but then you cannot remove the ignition key.

This component is in the way where I need to fit the column,so needs to be removed, but I have no idea what it's purpose is.

Advice and help appreciated.

Thanks as always.
