Default tilt/tele steering column

Hello,
I am trying to work out a deal to purchase a tilt/tele steering column for my 1971 Corvette to replace the original non- tilt one. Will I be able to use the same steering coupler or is there a different one for this application?

Default Tilt/Tell Steering

A great contact for original 69-72 tilt steering Greg Kirsch 619-212-6335. He completly rebuilt my 71 tilt to NCRS judging standards.
He also sells fully resored tilt columns for 69-72

I’ll second Greg’s work… Fantastic attention to detail. He’s done two columns for me, absolutely fantastic craftsmanship!
