Anybody wanting to do their column here is a good way to start if you are wanting telescopic and grey. You still have to buy a wiper switch for Ken H wipers, and do some other stuff.

Chuck,
I have a tilt steering column from a 72 eldo hanging in my garage. Will that fit/work?

Yes, this is not a bolt in, you have to marry the 2 columns below the knuckle joint, you will also have to extend the dimmer rod. That column probably has the cornering lights if not and you want it you have to buy a new turn signal switch with that feature you will need to grind a relief on the lock housing for the extra 3 wires, if you want the flash to pass feature you will have to purchase a dimmer switch for a 90 Jeep with the 4th terminal. Also a wiper switch from a 90 Lumina van w/tilt. You will also have to get a cruise switch for the cruise you will be running. If you are using the stock cruise you can hammer and anvel the end of the stock turn signal switch round enough to cut threads on it and use it as a tilt lever with the cruise switch in it.
It is getting hard to find a good lowbar telescopic wheel.

Larry, the 72 should not have the stalk switches but if it is telescopic it is probably 3" telescopic, the ones with the stalk switches are 2" telescopic. I believe the 3" feature could be added to any column with some head scratchin and modifying. I have been promised one to take apart and see, but haven`t got it yet. The 72 Eldo wheel is a 3 bar and would work but would block some gauges.
