Are you talking about the steering column? I don't think there were any differences between a 2wd and 4wd steering column. Auto => Manual => Auto/man tilt column's should all interchange, though you might want to go auto too auto so you can shift it into drive

there are a couple different columns...when i put a cab from a 76 F-150 2wd on my 78 F-250 4x4 frame, i had to use the column from the 4x4 because they were completely different.....most 2wd columns have a ragjoint connection, while most 4x4s have a small ujoint connection and are much shorter.....the year model plays a big role as well, so there MIGHT be a possible swap like that, but i dont think so....

I stand corrected then about column differences. Didn't really think it would matter since any differences coulda/shoulda been made up in the appropriate intermediate steering shaft 
Whats NSS?

I alwsy thought the columns were the same amd any differences would be made up in what is attached to it.
I can't seem them many different ones.
IMO, there were
Standard or Auto columns
not 4x4 and 4x2 columns.
78 changed by putting the NSS on the trans.
The 78/79 Tilt columns from either 4x4 AT or 4x2 AT are the same.
I have taken one from each,
Once I removed the u-Joint shaft from the 4x4 column, the columns are identical.
