Shift Collar replacement
I need to replace the shift collar on the sterring column of my 4X4 78 F150, 351M, Auto trans. Looks like a straight forward job, any hidden problems? Just pull the wheel and then remove the collar right? Do I need more than the collar and the shifter pin?

If its 73-77, check the neutral start switch. It's mounted on the steering column, under the dash, on top near the firewall. To check, hold the key in the "start" position and slowly move the gearshift from "park" position towards drive. If it tries to start, the switch is out of adjustment.

You are asking this question in the 1973/79 F100 and larger truck forum.

This is probably the "trickiest" part of reassembling a steering column.
Here is a youtube video on the reassembly. It's part three and is for an early Bronco but the process is the same.

They hold the steering column flange to the steering column. There are a couple of slots the square heads engage.

I am back on the road. I had to tweak the bead on top a little, but after some struggle getting things together I am driving again. Thank you so very much for your insight and sharing your knowledge.

I think you grabbed the wrong thread but it's good to know you're back on the road.
