Steering column-- How much trouble ?
Hey all,
I just bought an 85 Full size Bronco for a donor truck...the price was right.
My question is will the tilt steering column work in my 77 F-150 4x4? And how many problems am I going to encounter trying to do this swap ?
Also, will the intermittent windshield wiper swich just plug into my wiring in the 77?
I am gonna put the bucket seats and console in the 77 as well as trying to use the carpet. It would make it from the firewall to the rear of the cab I am hoping.
Thanks for any input on this subject.

All I know is the columns are different, so it will require some fab work.
The intermittant wiper switch will work great. You will need to swap the wires for the washer to make it work. It's the smaller plug with 2 wires. Use a small pick or wire to release the terminals from the plastic plug and swap the wires and install back into the plastic plug and all is well. I have a '86 intermittant wiper setup on my '73.
The floors are a little different shape, but you should be able to make it work - might end up with a couple wrinkles, but as long as you like it, who cares...
