Yea if I could find it. Up here in Winchester everything got recycled. I do know that the 73-76 stuff will interchange. I know the steering wheel dont fit right on a dent truck. The steering shaft is little too tall for the horn to work on the spoke from a 67-69 truck. Dont know if the 3 spoke wheel will fit right a 73-76 truck or not.

I cant find anything on CL anymore. Is that a 67-72 or 73-76 F250. I dont know if the 67-72 column will bolt up to a 73-76 gearbox or not.

Nov 16th ad, 1979. Couldn't tell you if it would bolt up or not. I know guys in the 67-72 forum have made the conversions. Might even have to check into MD, WV or PA

79 wont work. 77 was the changeover year for the truck frames etc for ford. I can go up to a 76. I find a running 352 4 barrel and 360 2barrel that needs overhauled and one or both heads replaced(ran when pulled a year ago) for $200/bo in maryland about 1hr 15min away from me.

Very cool. Cant wait to see the progress on your 67. My X is my daily driver, although I do have an 86 Chevy M1008 Cucv w/ a 6.2 diesel, but with 4.56 gears it tops out about 60 and people get annoyed on the interstate.

Nothing wrong with having different brands in my eye and I appreciate everyone's choice in what they like. Does your Chevy have a 350?
