Steering column Changes

I'm sure someone here will have the answer to this quickly.

Did the Steering column change between 79-83 on an automatic 2wd Ford F100?

Thanks in advance.

Doesn't the 1979 and down column have the PRNDL2L1 on the column itself and not the dash? I would think the 1980-up columns are different, but I never compared them side by side.

P.S. I just looked up the ignition switch for a 1979 f150 and a 1980 f150 on rockauto. They have different part numbers.

I believe 1980 was the first year for collapsing steering column in ford trucks too. 79 is defiantly different. 80-83 should be the same.

80 to 86 should be the same as 79 and 87 were different models.
