Close up of the hole and the NSS on the 77' column. Hope these help.

No worries, and since you have both columns, you should be able to modify it to work.

Tell me about your cruise control buttons - aftermarket? Retrofitted factory from a newer truck? Evaluating my options for the drivetrain swap in my truck...

I have a '78 F150 tilt column in my '69 F100. It should be even easier to install a '78/'79 tilt in a '73-'79 non-tilt Dentside truck.

Morning gang. Just an update on the tilt column. I lost the bid. Too much or it. By the time I add in the exchange, shipping charges and taxes its way over $200 CDN. Thanks for the input though. I will save it to my files for future reference. Pops

The cruise control bracket is from a 1989 Saleen Mustang. The CC switches are from an '87-'89 Mustang.



The '89 Saleen Mustangs came with Momo Veloce series steering wheels. The Momo Monte Carlo series steering wheel I have is very similar to the Veloce series wheel.
