The older Jeeps had a typical GM steering column. In fact you can grab swap a GM column out of a number of other vehicles from that era. The ignition switches are known to go bad, usually overheating and melting connections.

It turned my issue was electrical so the column doesn't need to be replaced.

Was it just the ignition switch on the column?

That was one issue, I also had wiring (poor connections) that were causing electrical drainage. Over the years, it was broken into twice an alarm system that went south and had to be removed. I had to have an auto electrician do the work.
