Default 69 Tilt Steering

Does anyone know of a company that that a new tilt steering column for a 69 coupe? I'm looking for a bolt in replacement and a non-tilt column. Will a used column work or does the car have to modified to switch from non-tilt to tilt?

You can swap them out. . . There are some tilt columns on ebay right now I believe it needs to be a 69-75 column

I swapped in a 76' to my 71'. Had to find a new hub as the 76 was an oddball. Well worth the effort. Bought two junkers off ebay to make one good one. Then rebuild with aftermarket parts. Get all of Jim Shea Tech papers on steering column over haul. He's our steering column expert.
This place sells complete rebuilt units (I think about 800 bucks)
