Can anyone identify this steering column

[Gygeneral]

Anyone know what year B body this came out of, what got me is this hook welded on the top

Looks like the same one I removed from my 67 Coronet.

Looks later than that to me because of width and crush area.

If it doesn't have a place for a key 67-69.

1970
It has a ignition switch but no key release lever so it is a 1970

More photos... As mentioned does it have the ignition switch? It does look like it could be a 70....

 

[YY1]

Does it have the front part where the release lever would be?

IIRC 70 has one but it's different (thicker)

The column in my '69 RR has that hook - but the housings above the hook look completely different.

I can see that it has a switch. Look close.
70 and 71-up have the same size collars but 70 does not have the release lever on top thus it is a 70.

70 has the hook. 71-up does not.

70 has the hook. 71-up does not.

Good catch. I did not see the switch originally so yeah must be 70 or later.

I'll post other pics, I'm thinking its 73, it is a column auto. The shaft is 41.5" long. But this hook puzzled me.

Okay lets try this again.

That is because 71-up does not have the hook. 66-70 does.

Over on another site there is a power steering column from a 69 with that hook for sale, looks identical to this one. Moparmarks also confirms this, so that is my answer. Thanks everyone

Why are you "hung up" on this hook? There to dip them for paint. It's a '70 column as was stated earlier today.

69 has the hook but not the ignition switch and also a smaller collar. .
