Cj7 Tilt Column In A 1967 Cj5 ?

Has anyone done this swap ? I am doing a saganaw manual swap with factory 1972 cj5 brackets. And need to change the column anyway. A friend gave me a 1981 cj7 tilt column any helpful tips will be appreciated

 

You may have better search results using your favorite search engine. (google or....?) search something like "earlycj5.com steering column swap"

 

A problem you may encounter is the ‘71-older Kaiser-era CJs had the column attached to the bottom of the dashboard in a slight indent with a simple U-strap to retain it. Starting in ‘72, AMC and newer CJs had the column extend way into the dash (4” or more), first with a “horse collar” bracket welded to the steering column (AMC), and later the column extended through a large hole through the dash.
Be prepared for possible major dash surgery. Some of the aftermarket tilt columns are pretty simple (and small diameter) and can be clamped similar to the original attachment. I’ve seen the ‘80s type columns installed by using a similar year entire dashboard swap. Do your homework!

thanks for the info I thought I might need to cut the dash but what I have found doing google search's is with mostly aftermarket or gm columns

 

CJ7 should be a GM style column.
