1973-79 Ford Truck Steering Column Kit

5.0 (1 review)

$1,657.62

Steering column kit for 1973–79 Ford F100 trucks: a Flaming River 30-inch tilt column on an FFG-welded bracket plus floor mount adapter, in floor or column shift.

  • The bracket is welded here - not a universal plate; a bracket cut and welded for the 1973-79 cab in our shop.
  • Two inches of room back - the 7 inch cone puts the wheel further from the driver; a real change in seating position; not a spec sheet number.
  • Angle solved at the floor - the 2-piece billet adapter sets the shaft angle and locks it with a set screw.
  • No redundant indicator - ordered without the factory indicator; cleaner gauge alignment behind Dakota Digital.
  • Finish to match the interior - Black Cerakote from our shop or Mill Stainless you can paint.
  • Floor or column shift - the column matches the transmission plan you already made.

Install Level: Advanced

Built to order with a 2–3 week lead time.
No turn signal indicator or neutral safety switch.
Built for aftermarket steering. A factory steering box may need extra adjustment.

Included:

1. Flaming River 30in Tilt Steering Column

  • Description: Flaming River steering columns are our favored steering column vendor for their quality and design. The column is shorter in the cone section compared to competitors, measuring 7 inches from the steering wheel mount to the bottom of the cone, which is 2 inches shorter than other column options.
    Ours comes with a custom-welded bracket specifically designed to fit the 1973-79 Ford F100s.

  • Features:

    • Welded Bracket: Designed for perfect fit in 1973-79 Ford Trucks, welded by us in our shop.
    • Available Options: Floor Shift or Column Shift
    • Available Options: Mill Stainless Finish (Paintable) or Black Cerakoted by our shop.
    • No Indicator
    • No Neutral Safety Switch
    • Increased Space: Shorter cone design allows the steering wheel to be positioned 2 inches further away from the driver, improving comfort and driving position.

    • Finish Customization: Bracket can be painted or coated to match or complement the truck’s interior (Mill Paintable Finish).

    • No Indicator Customization: Columns can be ordered without the factory indicator, which is redundant when using Dakota Digital gauges.

    • Design: Cleaner look by removing the indicator, which simplifies gauge alignment and provides a more streamlined appearance.

Essential for a clean and functional installation of the steering column, ensuring that the column is securely mounted. Ideal for 1973-79 Ford Trucks, other Flaming River options available for both Ford and Chevy trucks in other year ranges. 

2. 1973-79 Ford Truck Steering Column Floor Mount Adapter

  • Description: A 2-piece adapter designed to secure the steering column to the firewall, improving fit and stability and at the perfect angle for 1973-79 Ford Trucks.

  • Features:

    • Material: Made from 100% Billet Aluminum
    • Finish Options: Available in black or machined finishes.
    • Precision Fit: Designed with an angled slot for the steering shaft and includes a set screw for secure mounting.
    • Compatable: Designed to work with 2" Diameter Steering Columns in 1973-79 Ford Trucks

Ensures a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing installation of the steering column, addressing common issues with the factory setup.
