Default Tilt Steering Column For 1969

Just bought a 1969 vert without tilt steering,what years will fit and still look stock.
Also,how hard a job is it to re & re the column,is this a straight switch out?
Lastly,anyone have a tilt column for sale?
By the way,the column is black.
Thanks to all.

The columns are higher a cat's back in price, take your breath away....but the late shark ones are cheeper, last I found, and the smaller wheel is a easy swapover at any rate, they all bolt up, except the lateer columns have a thicker shroud and don't fit the dash, I fudged my column shroud, not so difficult, been in there 12 years now...
I even pulled it back toward me about 3/4 inch off the firewall for comfort...I drive with a single handed sloutch, left hand on wheel leaning on right elbow...lazy and getting worse.....

'69-'76 direct fit. Just need to paint to match. Prices for good colums are in the $800-$1,000 range

As always,there's an answer to any question on this forum,thanks to all who replied.
I'll put in a call to the wrecking yards and see if I can scare up a 69-76 column.
Final thought,any aftermarket for this item?
