Chevy & GMC Vans

What year van or truck steering column will match up to and fit in my 96 Safari van column?
I am trying to locate one but it seems impossible around here.Is there any other GMC column that will bolt straight in.I can switch the plastics.
Thanks.

Do a search on this link:

www.car-part.com

It is a site for junk yards.Because it only shows what columns are available it isn't a true cross match book,but given the listings of what they say fits and models,yrs,it does give you a sense of what works.

Thanks for the link.
I was hoping that the yukon or something else also had the same column.
I guess no such luck.It shows only 96 astro or safari vans in a search on that link.Is the 96 the only year column that will fit this van?

I would think 96 to 2005 would fit. The steering wheels are different starting in 96. Not sure if an older one would bolt up though.

The earlier columns might involve differences between OBD I and II.Anything outside of Astro/Safari's I would think would be very doubt full.

Thanks again!

One more question.lol
I found a 2000 astro van.It has the 4.3 and almost everything identical to mine except it was a 4whl drive van and on the shifter it has a Tow-haul switch.Will that effect my OD when I plug it in?
My van does not have that option.My shifter has P,R,N,OD,D,2,1. This shifter has P,R,N,D,3,2,1.
It is the same number of shifts but the Tow Haul option worries me.
Do you think it will work?

Just don't connect the tow switch.

Sounds like D=3 and OD=4, but shifting is mechanical so just make sure the linkage moves the same distance.

Thanks! I switched out the broken parts and it works again.
I still have a very stiff shift.Its not in the tranny or the column so I just have switch out the cable now.
