Tilt steering swap
OK, so I've only been signed up to this board for two days and already I'm on my second post, but it's almost addictive. I have a 1990 F150 2wd shortbed standard with a 4.9L. It is the Custom edition, which basically means the no frills package. Unfortunately, this means no tilt steering which I could really benfit from. (I'm kinda tall, and the truck kinda isn't. Combine that with a 5-speed and... well, you get the idea.) Can I convert my steering column or can it be directly replaced? If it makes a difference, this is the model where the cruise controls are on the turn signal, not the wheel.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Ive been thinking about that swap also. It should be fairly easy, if you can find one the correct color at the local boneyard. I know that you can purchase them for the hotrod market. IDIDIT makes a bunch of columns, but they are expensive. If you get one from the boneyard, all the wires out to plug in that run through the column.
