will this work with the wiring? swapping a 72 column into a 73. both satellite's

I think that the 73 column is longer than the 72.

column itself is the same. Shaft is what it would and could be diff specially because the articulated setup what attachs to steering box. You could take one shaft and mount on the other one though.

wiring, yes definitelly the same.

thanks guys. found my interchange and it said it wouldnt fit but no reason why. just said after they changed nov 2 1972.

if you mean about the interchange manual guide... sorry I don't trust about... They simply compare Part Numbers not the actual pieces... some of the PN were simply supersedes numbers

The K member became rubber mounted to isolate noise & vibration...I believe thats when the column changed to a rubber disc flex joint rather then the earlier steel bodied coupler..

since 73, shaft uses BOTH couplers... rubber and the metallic coupler... beside that there are two kind of rubber couplers, thick one with metallic inserts and a thin one without inserts
