Check out my gallery, my 79' (which my dad ordered brand new has a tilt and a 4 speed) There was ALOT of discussion on this and most people still believe that they are made and not orginal. I even have my build sheet from ford on this pickup that list the tilt as a option. A very rare option I would go back and get it ASAP Chances are the junk yard wont know the rareity of it and the price will be the same as any other column
