As far as I know you will need a Rag Joint (Steering coupler) for the proberly equiped truck of the 77 column you are using. I.E. a/t,p/s,4x2,etc. Also you will have to do a little wiring work. You can use this Forum's search engine top of the page. I searched the "other" web site and picked up on adding a 78/79 tilt column. Here is a little wiring info.
According to the the '73 wiring diagrams:
red/black stripes to brake light switch
green/white stripes to LH front turn signal
white/orange stripes to emergency flasher
yellow/brown stripe (I could only find yellow/black stripe to LH rear turn signal)
white/blue stripe to RH front turn signal
blue to turn signal flasher
blue/red stripe to "PRNDL" lights (you wont need the wire to the "PRNDL" light since you have a manual shift.)
