Default Steering column inter-change

What steering columns from other cars will fit in a 69 firebird?

'69 Camaro or Nova. Just swap out the turn signal and tilt release levers if so equipped!

The ignition switch on the lower column is Pontiac only and also different between tilt and non-tilt.

Sweet. Thats what I was hoping for. Just need to search the bone yards. I picked up the steering box from a 79 craparo as you call them. Thanks

Saginaw supplied columns to AMC-Jeep & Chrysler-Jeep, but no where near the same column as '69 Firebird/'69 Camaro/'69-74 Nova.
