Re: frame swap
there are some wiring diagrams over here. fo rthe 73-79 trucks. www.fordification.net just match up what the wires on the column with the ones in your truck follwoing both sets of diagrams from both sites.

Re: frame swap
I used my '70 turn signal switch in a '75 column when I did my frame swap around.
The '75 column didn't have a spot for one screw to mount the TSS, but there was more than enough screws to securely fasten it in there.
This way I didn't have to mess with rewiring the '75 TSS.
Been over a year and a half with no problems.
Now that I think about it, I probably could have changed out the area on the column that actually holds the TSS from the 70 to the 75... Hmm...

Re: frame swap
too bad he couldnt do that with the 67-78 column that would be the way to go. just swap the housing and all.
