tilt steering column info needed

I would appreciate any info on this. These trucks are out of my comfort zone. I normally deal with the 60's and 70's trucks. I know there are tons of knowledgeable people here so I hope I can get some help. I am trying to come up with a tilt steering column for a 97 for my brother in law. I have looked on Ebay and many are listed as 1992-1996. Some list they will work for 1997 as well. Is this the case? To me they look the same but just trying to be sure. I also need to know if the 1992 non airbag columns will work. It looks like there are holes to mount to clock spring but I am not sure.

What size is your BIL's truck? F250/350?

And yes...Any tilt wheel from a 1992-1997 F-150, or a 1992-1997 F-250/350 will work...

One thing to watch for, since you're wanting to go between years...

1992/92 Columns have a SLIGHTLY different Ignition Module/Switch (Little white box on the D/S of the column, behind the dash trim...

Here's a pic..



It's easy to find/see...


1992/93 trucks have the same Part #....1994+ has a SLIGHTLY different one..It all bolts in, plug n play...It's just SLIGHTLY different, in the hold down bolt "Shroud"...

Just take note of the donor column...
