Spline end
You need to get a FACTORY shop manual as none of the others have a good schematic of the steering column. Try AUTOBOOKSONLINE.COM or E-bay.
you need a steering wheel puller to get it off.
You can make it fit, but chances are the wiring harness will be different as well as the length... Especially the length. You can try it if you have one laying around, but I wouldn't pay for a '72 steering column if you are working on a '75 Chevelle. now, a steering column from ANY 1973-1977 GM A-body should work just fine, so if you can't get one from a '75 Chevelle, you DO have other options.
If I recall properly you can just drop the column down onto the seat but you might want to remove the steering wheel just to be safe in the event that there is not enough clearance. Don't forget if its an automatic to remove the little string that operates the PRNDL indicator.
Yes, it should lock unless it has been damaged or certain parts left out. All Chevrolet pickups since 1973 have a locking steering column.
You have to remove the steering wheel. You will need a steering wheel puller that is fairly cheap to buy or rent.
switch should be on the bottom of the steering column ,probably have to drop the two bolts on console to get to it
take horn button off of the steering wheel and you will see a large nut holding the wheel on, take the nut off and then you will need a steering wheel puller to get the wheel off it's splines.
Remove horn ring or button (twist to remove) Remove center bolt on steering wheel Mark location of wheel in relation to steering column shaft for proper re-install Get and attach a steering wheel puller Tighten nut on wheel puller until steering wheel "pops" off
Answerby looking through the telegraph you can see that if you put on some deer skin they will go awayIt is on top of the steering column under the dash.
