Attempted theft

so some lowlife decides he is going to try to steal my Bronco last night from directly in front of Autozone. We walk out and he is hacking into the column. We convinced him it wasn't such a good idea and sent him on his way...

Unfortunately my ignition is trashed, my column is all screwed up, the shift indicator is broken,...

I am planning on customizing the interior and have found Ididit columns online. My concern is that they all seem to be catered towards classic GM's. Has anyone ever done one of these swaps? Would it simply be a matter of splicing the Ford wiring harness in? What about concerns about clearances? Any help would be greatly apprecated. I am pretty clueless on this unfortunately. I have cut and pasted the info below if it helps.

Thanks All,

Jack

Aluminum Tilt and Telescoping Column with Shift Arm
If you are the kind of person who insists on having nothing but the best, the IDIDIT Tilt and Tele with Column Shift will be on your list of priorities. In addition to self-canceling turn signals, 4-way flashers, horn wiring, and IDIDIT Aluminum Dress-Up Kit, this column has a 5-position tilt, 2-1/4" telescoping adjustment, and automatic transmission shifter built in. Collapsed lengths are 32.75", 36.75", or 39.75". BEWARE: This column occupies 14" of space in front of your dash !

This ultimate column uses a 1", 48-spline shaft and industry standard 3-7/8" GM wiring connector. An IDIDIT Billet Aluminum 9-bolt Wheel Adapter is included. Order your Aluminum Tilt & Tele with Shift in stylish clear anodized brushed or brilliantly polished finishes.



Aluminum Tilt and Telescoping Shift: $1,130.00
Brushed OR Polished

I said we convinced him it was a bad idea,... I am pretty convincing. No need to call the cops when all was said and done. He will have a hell of a time popping a lock in the future.
