what steering column is this?

[dyrt]

Howdy folks,

I mentioned to my father that i was looking for a tilt van column in the junk yard and he mentioned we had one in the back room. I am not sure what it is from but he is sure he pulled it from a chevy van. The length from the main housing(shift lever, tilt lever, 4 ways) to the end of the tube is 33 inches, it has no igniton switch, and the end is 3/4" splined with a ragjoint on it, but there was no intermediate shaft connected to the ragjoint. Is this from a 71 to 72 van perhaps? Is it a good swap candidate? It doesn't have the flat connector, it has the arc-shaped one with 7 or 8 pins, i can't remember which.

i'm not sure what the controls are because the white lettering is worn off it in all of the important spots. It looks like it controls cruise control since is has a button in the end of it. Perhaps it controls both. The part that confused me was that it has an arc shaped connector and all the swaps i've seen needed an adapter from straight to arc.

those adaptors are like 12.00 from one of our vendors so thats no big deal, but yeah it looks like a cruise switch to me as well.
