Default 1966 Chevy Auto Column to 1960 GMC Issues

Hello, I have a 1960 GMC 1002 with a 700 R-4 Tranny. The current Column is from a 1966 Olds Toronado. It will not stop Telescoping, and I can not figure a fix out . I am thinking of going to a 1966 Chevy Column, the kind from a T-400 truck. Two Questions I must resolve.

1.How do I convert my Bowden Cable -Pyramid Connector type truck to use the C-Shaped connectors of the Chevy Column.
2. Will a GMC Wheel from 1960-66 fit the Chevy Column?

Has anyone ever attempted this conversion? Was it worth the work?
I will not miss the tilt in the least, and the telescoping even less. I would love to make this swap and make it look like it came from Pontiac with this Column.
Did GMC make a Column that had PRNDL1L2 in that era, as Chevy did? If so ,might be an easier swap? I have read about the GMC Hydra Matic, with the N 1-4 13 12 R insane(but probably thief -proof) Column, but never seen one on a truck.

Thanks for any advice and ideas, Greg Head
