Yes but you will need to alter the wiring .

column swaping

I did a conversion on a 68 using a 75 or 76 column and had a lot of trouble with the wiring until I read a post about how the brakes and turn signals work together. Then it was just a matter of connecting the right wires.

Now everything works right, but you have to turn on both the glove box hazzard and column hazzard to get the hazzards to work.

Other than that, it's not a hard job.

I did see a tilt column 4 speed in a 78 or 79 come through my shop back in the 80s. The thing was broke and we couldn't find parts anywhere or another column. He ended up with a junkyard non tilt much to his dismay.

karljay,

Did you happen to write down the wiring connections on that swap? I sure could use that information right about now. I am swapping a 78 tilt column into my 68 F-100
