Your link got me to go back to the beginning, again and THIS pic grabbed my attention this time. I wondered why the column had been changed to a 3 on the tree ?? Looking at it further, it looks original to the car. Since '69 was the first year of the ignition/trans interlock mandate did GM just use this column for the 1st/reverse lever for the lock rod to activate ??? When you removed it, did you see any indication it wasn't from the factory ?

The column was clearly removed and the auto unit was dumped back in. Like i mentioned earlier this car was parked on an indian reservation. Probably not much value to that owner at the time.
