Need help with turn signal switch

[yenko427]

I have a 71 chevy 1/2 ton long bed that i bought. The person that i bought it from took all the wiring out and it was a reel mess. I bought i painless wiring kit and have almost all of it done but i need help with the turn signal switch. I bought a steering column from a swap meet that the guy said it came out of a 72 chevy with tilt. The column that was in the truck was a non tilt and the switch was gone from the tilt column. I put the switch from the non tilt in and it don't work. Please Help

According to the parts houses, the tilt and non tilt turn signal switches are different.

The wiring is the same though. and what exactly doesn't work?

It seems that the switch its self will not work to the turn position. I had to use the top of the switch from the non tilt column the bottom of the switch where the wires hook up was still in the column. Thanks
