I recently put a 1973 4x4 F250 automatic transmission steering column in my 1970 4x2 F250 manual floor shifted transmission truck. There are 7 wires coming out of the dash that hooked to the old steering column they are red with 2 black stripes, green with 2 white stripes, yellow with 2 brown stripes, white with 2 blue stripes, blue, green, blue with 2 yellow stripes. The wires coming out of the 73 steering column are red with 2 black stripes, green with 2 white stripes, white with 2 orange stripes, yellow with 2 brown stripes, white with 2 blue stripes, blue, blue with 2 red stripes, green, yellow with 2 blue stripes. Do the same color wires hook to each other, the only difference in the steering columns that I can think of is that the 73 column has the light in the automatic shifter selector and the 70 column doesnt.
Here is what my diagrams have for the 73:
red/black stripes to brake light switch
green/white stripes to LH front turn signal
white/orange stripes to emergency flasher
yellow/brown stripe, I could only find yellow/black stripe to LH rear turn signal
white/blue stripe to RH front turn signal
blue to turn signal flasher
blue/red stripe to "PRNDL" lights
green to RH rear turn signal
yellow/blue to horn relay
By what I see, I dont have a 72 wiring diagram at home, you should be able to hook the wires up same color to same color. Of course you wont need the wire to the "PRNDL" light since you have a manual shift.
Hope this helps.
