wondering if a p/s floor shift 74 b-body will fit in a 71 with p/s floor shift? will the turn sig switch and ign plug in or will you have to splice them? thanks for your reply.

I doubt it will even bolt in, as the 73 and later K frame is rubber isolated.

I forget when they did the change on the bracket that bolts to the floor, but there is a difference in them also.

No 71 and 72 will interchange but 73-74 are different because of the different K-frame design

You can make it work. The shaft and steering coupler are different. The 73's and 4's came with a rag joint that will not work with headers. It's not hard to swap the shafts. The column,wiring, and mechanicals are very similar though.

When i bought my car it had a 73 column in it from the guy who was working on it originally.

I ended up cobbling a decent column together from 3 other columns.
