Tilt columns out of camaros and novas have been done. I currently have an extra 78 tilt column without a shifter from a 78 camaro.

Mine is out of a 74 Nova. It came out nice and everything on the column works. I have seen a column that tilts and telescopes. I think they are out of lincolns but not sure what year or model.

Most all caddy's have the tilt teliscopic column at least back to '79 and probably earlier. Got one in my 79 El Dorado.
Some Buicks and Old's have them too.
