Some small stuff showing up. Trying to get the factory stuff that's going to be retained after the swap up to snuff. Time is really tight this month, CCO courses on Saturdays and overtime every other day isn't leaving much time for family n toys but so it go

What the heck made you tear apart the column AND the dash at the same time?
 
24$ roof light kit from eBay seems pretty nice so far!

Well nothing in the dash worked and I also found a melted wire coming from the whisper harness so I had to trace it back as far as possible. I then decided to replace multi function switch and blinker harness while tighten the tilt column. The dash will be replaced by a Dakota unit once the ls ecu is in the truck and it will run off the obd2 port
 
All back together and tight like new. Only part that doesn't work is the hi beam switch. It seemed there is a missing part between the multi function switch and the rod. The rod is there to the switch down on the column but it doesn't connect to the stalk side. I don't know if the non tilt column in my parts truck has it. If not I'll retrofit a floor switch.

The non-tilt columns are different in lots of ways.
IIRC, there is a piece that goes in the upper housing which slides in, to catch the tip of the lever and push on the rod. It has a sloped end to engage the slope of the rod.

That's what I thought I just didn't know if the non tilt shared the same part
 
The piece pictured for your high beams...sometimes that piece is not lined up properly with the steel rod that is connected to your dimmer switch, and that can cause your high beam lever to flop around.

Yea unfortunately I don't have 5he part as I've already been in it but with some help I now have a part number to order it
 
Some good progress on chop down of the organ donor the last couple nights. No lift so we took advantage of the bed already being missing and rolled er back! :saweet:Too bad for the after factory slider rear window but unfortunately the good cab is more than likely going to scrap
