I would like to swap my current steering column for a tilt unit. What years and vehicles would bolt in? It's a 77 D100 auto.

Through 1980 should go in there easily I imagine. You may have to get matching wiring for dash harness too.

There were tilts in 79 and 80 I'm positive.

A 78 only tilt column is the only column that will fit your truck correctly
78 is the first year for tilt
79-80 has different mounting under the dash than 78 down trucks

Here's a pic of the two different columns with the 78 on the left (one year only) & the 79-80 on the right


It's not hard to figure out why the column mounting changed
That's the 78 on the bottom
