In case you get adventurous, here's an exploded view of the column.

Anyhow, if not, it's pretty straightforward. Just quite a few nuts and bolts and unhooking some electrical connectors and the shifter linkage.

thanks for that picture, i've felt advenurous for the past 9 months of this project, todays more of empty my pocket day. i think ill go to a straight column theres one at the junkyard now for a 100 bucks. money well spent to not have have to tear into a tilt column again!

Just got done today. Picked a used column up at the junkyard for 150 bucks. Extremely straight foward. The only problem i had was the column i got had a broken hazard switch, that was on. After i had it all installed, i had to take the steering wheel off, to turn it off from the inside.

Tell Me how much it is to ship Your tilt column to 59301 and I`ll P.P. the funds to You.
I can use that in my 79, I think.
If I ever get to working on the 79 again.
