Doubt all you want, they did, at least in the pickups.

They also offered tilt wheels with floor shifters too, but those are not all
that common and are $$$.  I imagine you could make a GM tilt collumn
designed for a floor shifter work if you really wanted to.

I believe the GM tilt option came out during the 67-72 production run. I
don't *think* it was any earlier, but I know for a fact that it was availble
by the end of the run as my brother's '72 chevy pickup has a factory tilt
wheel and I've seen a '70 model with a factory tilt as well.
