Prolly a seventies [I think] chevy van column as they did not have the ignition on the column, so your dash and wiring would be simplified.

I think the van column would work, I don't know how much modification would be needed but I have seen trucks in the past use them.

The fab to retrofit any GM steering column is about the same, really, save the ignition location. I use Caddys 'cos they got tilt/telescopic.

why not have the ignition on the colum and use the original as a power supply like a cig lighter?
That way you can use just about any colum up to the early 80's
