Anything up to 79, as long as it is 2wd to 2wd, but you will have to "convert" the wiring to match your truck.
Also I think that tilt was only offered in 78-79.....but I have been wrong before
Just noticed you have a 4 speed.........those tilt manual columns are kind of rare I beleive....so you may have to modify an auto column.

Yes 78-79, I didn't even know thay made a tilt manual column. If your 69 has the Bendix ps box you're screwed 'cause the column is longer too. If you have the Ford ps or manual box you're ok.

I think what you meant to say Barry was that the Bendix p/s and the Ford manual boxes are the same size and the Ford p/s box requires a shorter column Which is correct. The 78-9 tilt columns work with the 68-79 Ford p/s box.

I don't think the van column will work, but they are great for cannibalizing parts from as the tilt mechanism is the same. The collar has to be swapped or modified, however, as the ign switch is on the van column. The turn signal switches should interchange on all 78-86 pickup and van tilt columns as well.
