79 F150 tilt column into 75 compatibility ???

[mofoco1]

1st off how different is the 75 EB and 75 F150 steering columns as far as
wiring?
yrs ago I installed a 79 tilt column into my75 EB. I am again doing the same but could not remember what wiring had to be changed on the 75s receiving plug to make it all work.
2nd Is the column off a 75 F150 a direct swap for a 75 bronco? I am hoping so as I can use the information on doing the 79-75 info to make my sons project work.

I think NC had the info for the 79 tilt column on their site in the tech secyion

You have to change the dash mount too. I know there is some cross matching of wires, but like you it's been a while and I can't remember.

 

[mofoco1]

the column I swapped out mounts and the same for the bottom plate, but its the wiring that I am wondering about, the old coconuts not what it use to be.

Maybe this will help, I saved it off of here a while back.

FordBronc Thx wondering though if they are year specific, do you remember that diagram came from?

 

[SteveL]

Oops. I meant bc broncos had the instructions in their tech section

 

[FordBronc]

Sorry I do not.

I believe the 75 will have a square connector ( yall correct me if im wrong) and the 79 will have the half moon shaped one. However I tink the wiring is the same so just reuse your square connector off the 75 column and match up the wire colors and you should be good. It was plug and play for me. My 77 has the half moon so it just plugged right in

'75 should have the half moon connector also. I don't know if the pin arrangement is the same between '74-'77 and '79.

77 to 79 was plug and play. Mines a 77 and i put a 79 column in it and everything worked once plugged in. Thanks for correcting me on the 75 plug though.

I think its only a one wire difference if memory serve me right( not as good as it use to be). yes half moon on my 74.
