66 steering columns?
I've got a 66 f-100 that has a 71 column in it now. The blinker cam is broke at the horn switch and the blinkers itself works but doesnt stay clicked and doesnt "auto-off". Most salvage yards sell whole columns for about $65 out here.I know i've seen post about what years work in this era f-100 but my search function isnt working.
What all years will work and how much modifying is need (I have power steering).

I agree with William not in Atlanta any more. Just get a turn signal switch for your '71 column, and change it out. About $65 at the most from any of the suppliers here, it is about a 2 hour job, adult beverages included.

Okay, I forgot about LMC and their lower prices. I know none of the pat stores have it for my year, just have to rememberf my horn switch is broken off the main assembly which is running me the $75 from Dennis Carpenter.

While you are at it try to get a donor truck from the 70's that has power disc brakes also,you can then have p/s and power disc brakes all at the same time.
Good luck!
