From here It looks like he has a pre-77 column

I sent him a PM to send the photo to me directly.

For some reason I can't seem to get any of the picures onto the website. And if I do end up having to pull the wheel I may wait on doing the light until I get a new signal switch and can do it all at once. But I'm still flustered that I can't get any pics to load onto the site

Okay after having a closer look at that steering column you have one like the 75

You have to pull the steering wheel to change the bulb as shown here

Thanx! That really helps. How hard is it to swap the signal switch? I'm probably gonna do them both at the same time.

be careful and keep close track of wire locations on the t/s connector
I think that you will have to remove the wires one at a time from the connector from the old switch and install the new switch wires in the connector
use a very narrow small screwdriver blade to hold the latch of the connector away from the terminal and the terminal will slide out, to put the new ones in just push them in
easy to do , it's just that all have to be removed to remove the switch or you could just cut the old wires a few inches long, remove the old switch and then the locations would be easy to follow one wire at a time
