Power steering column
I have the 3 spd ps column out of my 75 parts truck.
The shift collor is toast and I have a Ford replacement.
Im sure the turn signal switch will need to be replaced. Is the oem switch available? If so, where do I buy one?
Is there anything else I should replace or service before installing the column? I have never had a column apart so I have no idea what I am getting into.

Remember a hint... When removing column collar after steering wheel is off the 2 7/16" nuts just back them off part way to about 50% of thread in nut then with fingers gently squeeze them together this will release color from column tube. On wires the clip comes apart so the wires will pull thru column. Just remember which color goes where . . .
When installing column collar just reverse with studs~nuts as above and it will fall into place. takes seconds to do that way vs trying to keep the stud still while trying to thread the nut
I am pretty sure the switches are still avail from FoMoCO if not they are not that difficult to find. The aftermarket ones are JUNK.
