as a follow up I have been quoted 550 bucks for a recon auto power steering column I am sure I might be able to do better than that if I pick up a column cheap and get it reconditioned

The steering column harness connections of a Bumpside will be different from a Dentside column. Bumpside will have two, separate wiring connectors. The Dentside will have one, larger, single connector.
Trucks through 1977 had the NSS (Neutral Safety Switch) on top of the column tube, inside the truck, near the firewall. In '78, this was done away with and the NSS was moved to the side of the transmission.
Not that a Dentside column can't be installed in a Bumpside --I have a tilt column from a '78 F150 in my '69 F100. Just be aware that there are some differences.
