Steering Column ID

Just bought a 1965 F100 and looking to rebuild/replace the steering column. After researching on here, feels like this is maybe a 73-79 column? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a 1970 column it does not have the emergency flasher switch on the column nor does it have that bottom bearing like yours. I believe you're correct the 73-79 age I think 73 was when they started putting the flasher switch on the column.

1973/79 A/T shift dial pointer is a separate part, fits into a slot of the shift collar.

1973/79 has the 4 way flasher switch located on the right side of the steering column.

1973/77 has the neutral safety switch located at the bottom of the column.

1978/79 has the neutral safety switch located on the transmission.
