1990 steering column

Hey guys I just bought a 1990 f250 and need to replace the steering column in it or fix the one in it and I don't know the which one would be easier to do and I don't know the years I can put in it and was hoping you guys can give me some ideas

It depends on what is wrong with the existing column. The key lock, ignition switch and a linkage piece are problematic on them. All are easy to address. The tilt columns sometimes have a couple of screws that need to be tightened back up. This is a diesel chatter only section. You will have a much larger audience if posted in the 1987-1996 truck forum.

i absolutely hate tearing these columns apart.
80-91 trucks for replacement.

as said, 80 to 91 columns are bolt in, but you may have to do a little wiring to get everything working properly. 87-91 is a direct swap. anything from Bronco, F-150, F-250, F-350, and F-super duty will work.
i swap instead of rebuild unless it is something simple like an actuator or ignition switch.
