tilt wheel
Im not sure if the 8th or 9th gen trucks ever came with a tilt wheel/steering column, but if they did, would one be able to fit my 87 f150? (300-six, 4x4, 4 speed)

ok, because I might need to replaced my column anyway and would like having a tilt wheel, even though its just a standard cab, would having it tilt make it any taller? Im a tall guy and have a bench seat in there thats from a 93 so its a little taller than my old one too, makes it a little difficult getting in and out

Ive tried that before, either its seized up or its not equipped, I doubt it has it, its a bare bones stock fseries, no special edition or anything, Ill look and try it again, but I doubt its already tilt, might crap my pants if it is though

Maybe the 93+ are different than the earlier ones but mine has a separate lever for tilting the wheel. It's about 2" below the turn signal. Tilting the wheel all the way up should give a little more leg room.

yup.pre 92 used a separate lever for tilt function.
and non tilt columns were standard in plain jane trucks. it was a rare event for a tilt wheel to be installed in a custom.
