I would say you would be safe '81-'93, maybe even older, the only thing to check would be the wire plugs for match up.

You will find that the steering gear box and column are common to GMC & Chevrolet trucks of similar vintage, so don't limit your boneyard scrounging to just the Dodge nameplates. Just be sure to get a manual column if you have a manual box and a P/S column is you have P/S because they are different lengths.

What parts are you after?
Straight swap columns are 87-90 pickup and ramcharger. Tilt column from the same also bolt in just hbe sure to get the adaptor harness with the column.
Note the tilt column used in these trucks was built by Saginaw, like year GM parts fit to repair them.

Sounds like you will be junkyarding it. Ramcharger have tilt more often than pickups
Note 2wd and 4wd use different intermediate shafts so keep yours till the swap is done. Or get a column from a similar equipped truck.
Could also call the dealer for a factory pn then check fleabay for a listing.
