That is a stock Saganaw steering column used in GM full sized vans,
pickups, Vettes, Camaros, Acadians, etc and about any top part will just
fit in. The wiring is also stock GM with stock plugs, so it basically
is a plug and play...

Changing out the column will be a bit frustrating with the dash in place,
unless you're double jointed or can lift the truck a couple of feet. As
Mike says it should be a standard GM unit but be warned that some folks
have mentioned here that the tube length (the portion that extends from
the dash down and through the firewall) might not be uniform across
models/years. On the upside, the tube is held into the upper portion by a
couple of screws below the signal switch, so playing mix-n-match should be
a breeze.
Hmmm. I wonder if you can change out only the upper portion of the
column, leaving the tube in place. That would mean you could do it
without having the pull the dash or disturb the weather seal at the
firewall and it would be _much_ easier. Either way there's a bearing at
the top of the column and one at the bottom, while you've got it apart
check both of them and replace as needed. The bottom one is probably
long gone. Quadratec sells a repair kit with bearing, collar and spring
clip.
Don't worry too much about matching trim color: The upper portions take
Krylon Fusion paint for plastic very well.
The only wiring that you'll have to contend with are the ignition switch
held in a bracket low on the tube on the right hand side and hooked to a
single harness connector and the signal light wiring. The signal
connector is clipped to a bracket above the ignition switch and it too
only fits one way. That part is a snap.
