I don't think tilt steering was offered on these trucks until 1978, so there is nothing that would be a direct interchange. You could use a 78-79 tilt column, but you would have to relocate your neutral safety switch because the 73-77s had the neutral safety switch on the column but 78-79s had it on the trans.
