tilt/steering crossover

i just bought a 77 ford f150 ranger that had a standard steering column. the guy swapped out that steering column with one that had tilt and cruise. now the horn honks when you push the off button and i don't know what all is needed, if it is possible, to make the cruise work. all help and additional sites would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to FTE! It's a great source of information and expertise. There is quite a bit more required for cruise control than just the column. Wiring and different speedo cable, sensors, carb linkage and I don't know what all else (Someone on this board will know) If your truck doesn't have this stuff - which sounds like the case since it had a regular column - I think it will be quite a bit of work. Not impossible, but not easy. Good luck.

i found out that it is hooked up with cruise on the carb and it has the vacuum, but all help regarding the wiring would really help. thanks.

You're going to have to do it yourself, modifying the wiring as the tilt wasn't available until 1978.
