Replacing WHOLE steering column

[PnrFab]

need to replace my steering column and was wondering what other years will fit into a 1990 f250, will a f150 steering column work? and anything i should look for when going to junk yard to buy one or pull one my self? ...thx

Far as I know the entire steering columns are interchageable for 1982 on thru the end of the trucks like yours. There are different shrouds for 3 speed and 4 speed manuals, and for autiomatics. Make sure you get the key. If you install a tilt column, make sure it isn't too sloppy. Don't forget fullsize Broncos as well as F 150, 250 and 350.

ok well i bought a whole column from a 88 bronco 4x4, my other question is this steering column has cruise control, will i have cruise control now (current truck currently does not have it) or is that have to do with the computer and stuff and they'll just be for looks?

You now have the switches for cruise control. You need the actuators, speed sensors and 'puter.
But you should have tilt, and that works w/o any computer.

While you have the column out, install a new ignition switch, they are about 9 bucks at the zone. My switch died a few months ago, the FSS had power when the key was on but not when the starter was engaged. It was a pain to find and when the truck wouldn't start I missed my flight.
