My truck was a recovered stolen when I bought it. They reamed the ignition cylinder out so bad that it ruined the column. It's an 88 or 89 5 speed with cruise, and I'm having a hard time finding one for it.
I'm swapping to a 96 Super cab Short bed body in the spring, so I'll prolly wait till then to just use the 96 column. The 96 is an automatic. So I need to know what insight/experience some of you guys might have concerning using an automatic steering column in place of a man trans column? I don't have access to the automatic column right now, but I'm wondering if I can just leave some shifter parts off of it, and everything else will work fine. I realize that I might have a hole in the collar where the auto shifter was, that's not a big deal, I might put a little shift light in it!

 

It will work just fine as long as you don't mind the collar with the hole in it for the auto shifter.

 

yea thats the only thing that would matter is that collar but u can turn it towars the bottom or cut it off and smooth it out...

 

Sweeeet!

I could put a push button in it to activate...... rocket launcher?..... GM
