This is a new adjustable tilt wheel steering column built specifically for your truck, not a universal column that requires modification. Column includes a built-in ignition switch and is available in ready-to-paint brushed steel or show-quality chrome. Two wiring plugs are included but not hard wired; use the plug that matches your wiring. Installation is easy. The original under dash mount bolts directly to the column, and the original floor support is used. The original turn signal harness plugs into the column. The ignition uses the terminals from your original ignition switch plug. Simply remove the terminals from the original plug, and snap them into the new mating plug included with the column. Column is backed by a 3 year warranty. If you have a 1974-78 truck, your original steering wheel will fit this column. If you have a 1973 truck or want a different steering wheel, you will need one of the steering wheels listed on page and either a #38-1182 or #38-1186 Install Kit, or choose the Chromed Billet Steering Wheel listed on page .
A Column Install Kit is required if you are replacing a non-tilt column.
You will also need a Shift Indicator listed below.
A Column Installation Kit is recommended if you are adding a tilt-column to your truck. The kit includes a u-joint to connect to the tilt column, a collapsible shaft and a coupler to connect to the steering gear. Order the steering shaft that matches the size and splines on your steering gear.
