I would like to put a tilt steering wheel column that came out of (what I am told) is a mid 70s J truck into my 71 Gladiator. Are these compatible or were changes made that would not allow this swap?
Thanks!

This is a good pic for what I've been thinking about, I want a Gladiator grille in my 88 Wag, followed sometime by an early dash, not up for spending for aftermarket column either, gives me something to think about when/if I ever get to this point.Tad wrote:My vote would be don't do it.
Back around 2002 or so I put a mid 80's FSJ column into (what was then) my '70.
I had to get creative on the dash mount part, figure out all the wiring and remove firewall mounting plate from old column and attach it to the newer one.
But best of all I had to cut the dash.
I didn't think much about it then and it wasn't that much work (I weld, cut and fab all the time) but that dash is never going to look correct again.
I still regret this mod.
