I purchased a tilt steering column that I was told was off of a 1979 F150. I just put a 1979 cab on my 1973 2wd and went to install the column it is different it has a universal joint not the flat plate that goes to a rag joint. Is this the correct column and if so where would I buy the adapter plate.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

It sounds like you may have a 78 / 79 bronco column.The 79 bronco I had was that way and was different than my 79 150 sc. The bronco gear is in a more forward position than your 150, and had a shaft to go from the u-joint to the gear. You will need a u-joint of some kind I cant say what as I don't have the bronco anymore to look at.

 

I find it easy to upload pics to an account like Photobucket to post here.

Yeah, you'll need to find the rag joint coupler from another column. I don't think no one actually sells the OEM couplers. Columns are different, so you'll have to find a column that you can remove the coupler. The more expensive option would be to go this route.

sounds like you are trying to put a 4x4 columin a 2wd truck. The 2wd has a disc/plate at the end of the colum.the 4x4 has splines for a u-joint.

 

Thanks for the help looks like I am back on the hunt

 

The tilt column is prolly from an F150, but with 4WD, not 2WD.

The 4WD tilt column is very hard to find, so you won't have too much trouble re-selling it.
