1st gen steering column

[RangerFabWorks]

Anyone happen to know if the early fox body steering columns will in a 1st gen? They look the same. And have the tilt wheel, and a tilt wheel ranger column is super hard to find.

If you had a spare of each, the way to do it would be to lay the parts out side by side. Sometimes I'm amazed at how many of the same or very similar parts Ford used over the years on different models. With some creative parts swapping, you might be able to make one nice tilt unit using parts from both?

I really like the mid 80’s aviation looking bezel with fake screws around the gauges.

Mine has tilt, nice column covers without the pins broken off are few and far between.
