Steering Column for 78 F150 automatic

I have a 1978 ford f150 4x4 automatic with a 351 as a project truck that I can drive around. I need a new steering column eventually and have looked at some online places but they seem to never have one. Do you guys have any advice on some sites that sell one? i know various other years/models will work as well.
Im not looking to spend more than about 100-150 either.
thanks

For the price you are willing to pay you will have to find a used one on eBay or a junk yard, since the aftermarket columns will cost at least double your budget.

There is a couple of them on E-Bay right now. This looks like a nice one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/73-74...46263125QQrdZ1 or if your interested in a tilt column this one looks ok: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/73-79-FORD-F150-F250-F350-XLT-TILT-STEERING-COLUMN_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42609QQihZ009QQi temZ190048628471QQrdZ1

Good luck!! -Ed

That looks rough and the pic doesn't show the tilt.
The guys needs to learn how take pics.

I have sold "restored" Tilt columns for $200.00 +shipping (USD) plus, the Turn signal switches are guaranteed to operate and cancel.

You won't find a factory column from an aftermarket parts store.

Be careful on ebay..tons of scam artists.

Have you checked the FTE classifeds ?
