Hi Shelly:

Sorry about your truck.  I'm assuming the truck will not start either.  If that's true, it sounds like the rack gear or the actuator has broken.  The rack gear is the most common part.  Here is a link to the exploded view of your column.

The parts I am referring to are #s 44 or 76.  44 is the most common and easiest to repair.  
We have recently uploaded some pdf & video instructions on our company website (for a small fee) to give you first hand viewing of how to remove, disassemble, and reassemble the tilt column you are talking about. They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions. Although the instructions are not for your exact truck, the column is very similar to yours.

I hope these instructions can help you.  Lastly, if you need parts to repair this column simply locate the part and you can purchase it directly through the shopping cart.  We stock just about everything you would need to repair your car properly.
Good luck
