'72 - '79 column wiring??

I've got a cross reference wiring 'diagram' for using the '79 column in a '67 but mine is a '72. My understanding is that the '67 and '72 do not match. Can anyone help me with the correct diagram/reference for the '72 to '79??

Thanks

I think the wires are the same (may be different colors, but do the same thing), just the connector is different. I think....

72-79 column wiring

I have used a 1977 column in a 70 and wiring codes were the same BUT, with hazard flashers on dash in 70 and column in 77, You must leave flasher button in 77 column pushed in or signals won't work. I found this out after quite while with the test lite/ohmeter. 79 column looks same except for smaller wheel,
Have fun!
ps: both columns I had were from standard steering 4spd trucks.
