It's the little things that keep me going.

Removed and sold the tilt wheel over the weekend, now to work over or replace the steering shaft and install a none tilt.

I would bet on YOU, I am sure you will drive your nice yellow truck to my place and ol red will be setting right there as you seen it....the last 2 times.

For me its a matter of just not enough free time or lack of motivation to get on it nightly.

Mine has been mainly motivation for the past year. That's a killer, but I'm finally getting over it.

Worked over the fit of the push bar and its bolted on for good. Installed the diifferent steering column and installed the same instrument cluster.

Had to work over some bulbs, but I have dash lights now. I do not have a high beam indicator in the cluster (headlights do go from high to low with the dimmer switch).

And I HAD turning signals one time, now a no go. I hate elec issues.

I hate to mess with wiring...Next sat we are going to that race I talked about, we leaving around 3:00 PM.

But I sure could use a hand figuring it out, if you would not mind lending me an experienced hand earlier in the day?

Rich could there be a ground wire that isn't grounded, or a pin to a connector that is bent?

I believe the t/s issues are being caused by my replacement steering column...probably the turning signal switch. It all worked before the swap in. Plug on both ends look good.

I believe I need to ground/hard connect/mount the dimmer switch to take care of that issue?
