steering column troubles
was wondering if anybody makes a steering column rebuild set of something like that because the tilt on my 79 doesnt want to stay where you put it, if you put it up all the way and just turning normal it will slide back to the bottom tilt position, any help is appreciated

No kits that I have seen. This style column isn't that hard to fix, just take plenty of pictures. If you go to this link I have uploaded a breakdown of the column and have some pics of the tilt mechanism: 1979 Ford Bronco Steering column repairs pictures, videos, and sounds | SuperMotors.net

This lever has teeth on it that correspond to the tilt wheel settings. When the teeth wear down, the tilt wheel will not longer stay in position.

Tilt wheel won't move
My 79 started getting tight when I tryed to adjust it years ago, so I got it where it's comfortable and left it alone. Would be great to get it working again. F-150, 400, T-18. Any help on parts?
