The 67 column is a lot different since that ign' switch was on the dash. It didn't have a wheel lock either. Lots of little differences between 69 and 70 up.

what would you say about a 74 valiant column??

A 74 column will work in a 72 model. With the possible exception of the female spline in the box coupling. If it comes with the 74 column, It may not fit your 72 steering gear.
I'm not sure when those changed.

Mopar Action recently did a nice article on steering (series of articles actually). If I were you, I'd check them out.

Dont know just by looking if those are a-body columns.
The column standing upright shows 3 mounting points. The columns laying down show only 2 mounting points.
The blue one may work . It appears to be for manual steering gear. The mounting bracket could probably be changed if nesessary.
I know this doesn't help much. Sorry
