Manual Tilt column for 76'. What years?

[1968vetL-71]

Hey everyone. I tried researching this several times. I'm converting a 76' auto to manual and i'd like to find a 4spd/tilt column (cruise would be nice). What years are a direct bolt in? I'd rather not mess with wiring pinouts or intermediate shafts so any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
From what I found 73-77? I can use up to 83 but swap shafts and re pin wiring if need too be?

Thanks again everyone!!!

Hi There,

I'm not sure about your area... but up here finding a 4-speed truck tilt column
is like trying to find hen's teeth..... I converted my 82 to a 4 speed.... but just continued using the original auto /tilt column. Took off the auto shift lever.

ya, they are a bit harder too find, but plenty out there.

Let me know if anyone has any more info on this stuff.

Thanks!!!

x2, I couldnt find a 4 spd tilt , just make sure you know what year you get one out of, the keyed ignition part is different on some years,there are two different ones and they dont interchange if you need to buy a replacement (they are available at the auto parts store)I think 73-79 are the same electrical connections...and have you had a tilt come loose ? you can tear into them and then use locktite on the four screws that keep it tight
