The aftermarket ones will work fine but you have to adjust your column after you install the new one. Loosen all of the column clamps (and if it is a 65/6 the clamp on the lower shaft) and move your column down to make more clearance. If it hasn't been apart in a long time it may not be the simplest task. Hawkrod

If you don't use the shift collar, you can replace it with a floor shift collar and remove all of the associated column shift parts. The 60s and 70s collar assemblies will fit. The '73 - '77 units use a turn signal switch with a built in emergency flasher switch that can make for a pretty clean looking all Ford conversion.
