Interior Paint - '73
Other than going to the Body and Automotive Paint supply store - where would I obtain a can of Oxblood for a little touch up on my steering column - or maybe I might have to paint the entire thing (if it didn't match).
sorry - I'm a rookie at painting inside items...

www.paintscratch.com can supply you with bottle or spray paint [or dye] to match your interior color code.

Another alternative...You might get lucky and find a supplier still having the colorant to make what was originally used. (you'll get the closest match).

As others have pointed out, those dyes also work on metal. As it turns out, I've used them to paint two steering columns (on my '72 and on my '73). And I agree with Easy Mike, for the best results you should paint the entire column.
