Default Tilt/Tele Steering column for '68

I've found a '68 I like a lot but it doesn't have the tilt/telescopic steering column option. Since I'm 6'5 250 and kinda need it to get in/out without looking silly the dealer said one can be easily installed.

Any ideas on what it would cost to fit one? I'd want it to look exactly stock just like the original option.

Sorry but there only was a tele option in 68...no tilt. If you try to put a 69-76 tilt'tele in you're going to have an ignition lock cylinder hole showing where your 68 has the ignition in the dash.
Not sure how available the tele 68 columns are.
