It is a basic Saganaw unit that is used in Camaros, Chevettes, Full

The damage is not to the key side of the column, they broke out the entire left

still turns but there's nothing left to engage the sliding actuator. Thus this
is a matter of replacing the assembly between the wheel and the tilt mechanism.
It seems, however, it'd be simpler to just replace the whole column.
