Awesome! I appreciate it. I'll have to order a new one here soon. LMC didn't seem to have one for a 75 4x4 with an AT.

Ah I got you. I'll go to work on it now and try and take some pics to make sure I did it right.

Getting the bolt heads to lock onto those holes is probably the most frustrating part of working on these steering columns. It's best to relax and take your time.

I somehow got them to fit into those holes by putting the nuts on about a thread and a half deep and angling them as best I could while pushing the flange on. Took about 3 tries, no pictures because it took both hands. Truck will not start now, but the starter has been on its way out, last few times it has sounded like a dying cat at startup.
