I have a 1970 Camper Special and want to install a tilt column from a 73-79 truck.
How or what do I do with the Neutral safety switch?
So how do I convert the wires to assure all the blinkers work and etc..
Has anyone out there done this and can guide me through it?
Is there a how to on any sites??
Thanks in advance.......

 

I'm not sure if the swap you propose is doable on a 67 to 72 or not. I can give you the information that I came up with on putting one in my 73, and you can take it from there. The tilt collums came in 78 and 79 model trucks and Broncos. If you want an automatic collum, it can come from a truck or a bronco. If you want a standard collum, it has to come from a bronco. I would suggest finding a collum with the cruise control, that way you can add that on too at a later date with out changing the collum again. If you can get the collum to fit, I'm positive you can get the cruise control stuff to fit. The 78 and 79 collum wireing plugs have the wires in a different order than my 73 did. I simply took the collum plug apart, and pulled the wires out of it. I took the bare wires and plugged them in to my wireing harness and changed them around until everything worked correctly. Then I put the wires back in the plug, and plugged it in. Is your truck harness plug kind of a half moon looking plug that is gray? If not, your either going to have to put the tilt collum plug on your wire harness, or your collum plug on the tilt collum. Once you get that done, it should be a plug in deal. Do you have a way of posting pictures of your plugs? If so, I can post pictures of my plugs. We can compare notes and get you hooked up. On last thing the metal plate with the rubber boot was completely different on the tilt collum than it was my original collum. The boot and plate would slip right off of my collum, but I had to cut the boot and plate off of the tilt collum with a cut off wheel. I don't know how your fire wall is, but the tilt collum plate and boot would not bolt up and close up the hole around it in my truck. Hopefully someone that has done this swap on your year model will answer, if not, I think we can work it out for you.

 

Thanks .. for all your time and efforts. I know it do-able as I seen it in these year model trucks. This all started for me when I had turn signal problems (which I have traced back to inside my stock column).
Anyway, sure which this site would havd some How-To-Articles!!!
Thanks again
