My younger brother has a 66 ford we put a column out of a 69 or 70 ford truck fit no problem it was a little shorter than the 66 . someone told us up to a 76 would fit but never tried it.
Anything from a 65 to 76 F-100 or F-250. The 77 and 78s may work as well. Try to find a later version with tilt. Good Luck.
By the way, you have a very rare truck!
thanks for the info...i had heard that somewhere but just wasnt too sure about it....picked up a column ot of a 70 last week and it worked great....as to the rarity of my truck...i can count 6 in my general area...all 65 and 66
