steering column identification

[mauibronco]

sup bronco brothers,

my steering column has finally taken a shit...im looking into ordering a new or rebuilt column but im not sure what the PO put in my bronco...the truck is a 1970 but im guessing the column is out of a later model truck...one clue, there is a hazard switch on the right side of the column...any guess as to what this is? im guessing i can put any early bronco column in its place but im trying to make it a seamless and easy process as possible...lol....any help would be greatly appreciated as always!

mahalo

it looks a lot like mine I run 1978 //// 79 ford pick up or Big bronco.
Those steering column will tilt all the way down between you knees ... BUT will only tilt up maybe one click .. & If your taller than I am it'll most likely not tilt up any.
...
That might help identify

Justino is correct. There's little needed to make yours look and work like new. There's just 2 bearings. They are the same ball bearings just mounted differently. The turn signal switch is the hardest part, because you have to run the wires down a little tube. The canceling arms made of plastic/nylon break after a few years. Then you get to run the wiring again. A coat of semi gloss black paint is the last step. Then, you'll have what is called a rebuilt column.
