Steering column questions...

Yes, WHY? Yes anything built 70 and after is locking column, except some trucks

If you really want a locking column, the wiring would be easy IF you get enough of the later model to have the connector. All you need do is look at both diagrams, and I/ we can walk you through that

Also the TS connector is different you will have to deal with that

I will admit, lol, that is one way to establish a tiny bit of security for anti theft.....darn little
