84-94 will work in your rig, a column out of a 96 is different and the wiring is not the same, plus it has an airbag.

Define "worn out". Are the bolts in the tilt mechanism loose making it flop around? It's not the easiest job to get to them to tighten but it's very doable and much less hassle and money than replacing the whole column.

Okay. When you find the replacement I would recommend going in and tightening the four Torx™ bolts at the tilt joint, some thread lock would be nice, too. These bolts are notorious for backing out which makes the steering wheel flop all over the place. Tightening them is a much easier task while you have the column out, I think.
