Tilt steering wheel I.D.

Hi, Hopefully this is in the right forum, I bought this steering column on e-bay, it was listed as a buick A body column. It looks to have buick levers on it but the rag joint end is way too short for an A body. Talking to another member when i turn the key to start the car the rod moves towards the steering wheel which mean Chevy? I want to resell it but i dont want to miss represent what it is. Can anyone identify what this is from? Thanks in advance for any help!

Just a guess here, but Buick Apollo ('73-74) had the steering box mounted rear-of-the-crossmember, which would necessitate a shorter steering shaft.

I'm pretty sure Henry is right: the stalk style is pre '71 Buick. The '69's & '70's are "rear-steer". My bet is '69-'70 full-size Buick also.
