Replaced steering column in 98 Lincoln Navigator with wrecking yard column now anti theft problems. Please help me...

Try pulling the fuse for the anti theft system and starting. If the car starts normally, then the problem is with the theft system. The theft system will reset itself after a period of time.

Did you replace the ignition lock cylinder? Are you using the original keys?

The sensor is part of the ignition key lock cylinder, so the part and labor will be around $200-$300 depends on your local labor rate, the dealer must do this repair because the new lock cylinder key code must be programmed into the VATS module.
