You can find schematics for the wiring on the Fordification site that should get you most or all of the way. I think there are some side pics in the main wiring diagram that show the cruise wiring.
Other than that it should be bolt in. At least I'm pretty sure.

I believe there's no problem, i just recently put a 79 tilt in my 73 , bolted right up. Wire harness was the same and works right , but it was not a cruise control column. The only thing i did different was to get rid of the rag joint, which was worn pretty bad and looked like crap. I replaced it with a ball bearing steering U-joint for about the same cost and gives it a cleaner look.
