Steering column
I am looking for the top part of the steering column for my 1978 F250 custom. Right now it has a tilt wheel which doesn't work & I haven't been able to find the plastic parts to make it work plus the universal joint at the top of the column is worn out.
Are there parts available where I can pull just the top part of the column where is separates just inside the engine compartment. I would like to do away with the tilt option. I don't want to go through this problem again.
I am hoping to take the wheel & automatic shift handle & collar un-bolt the top half of the column & unplug the electrical & R&R the top part of the steering column.

sorry 78, the column and parts are completely different than non tilt. a straight column should be easier to find. a lot of the tilt parts in the later columns are the same as g. m. and dodge. yours may be the same also.

Wouldn't it be easier to find a straight column out of a junkyard? My 89 F150 had the same problem and I relpaced it with a straight from a junkyard and its perfect. Only cost me $25 bucks for the column and $75 for the guy to put it in my truck.
