Just in case anybody looking for this stuff, here's a couple of interesting items I found while I was looking for other things:

NOS 12Bolt housing: Clicky

NOS K5 Quarter Panel, Real GM Metal: Clicky

NOS Tilt Auto Steering Column: Clicky

What's with people not accepting paypal these days? I'm confused...

They don't like the fees.

That why I always add 3 dollars to each purchase. One guy gave me a set of tow hooks cause I did it too.

FYI that isn't a 10 bolt housing.

Don't know my 12 bolts well, but I'm assuming they were 8.8" ring gears (or whatever he listed) and that's what it is.

Don't want anyone to bid on that and be disappointed. Not like anyone needs a bare 12 bolt rear truck housing either though I can't imagine.

Just a thought, but if someone needs one and you guys look real hard, there are 3 complete 10 bolt fronts for sale on Surplus Center.

My mistake. Sorry. I fixed it. I hadn't had my coffee yet.

Would that column bolt into my 78 Blazer automatic, or what would it take?

It will bolt in, turn signal switch is a bit different (longer style) you can buy a conversion thing from Painless for that, wipers will need new motor/control box if you want to use the column wiper switch, otherwise you could just leave your dash mounted switch. Dimmer switch will need moved to the column (connector fits, might need to lengthen it a bit) But other than that, I believe it will bolt right in.

"It will bolt in, turn signal switch is a bit different (longer style) you can buy a conversion thing from Painless for that, wipers will need new motor/control box if you want to use the column wiper switch" -- Could someone please elaborate on this information. Like what do I need to order from Painless and do I just need the wiper motor, what else might I need? Difficulty level?
