I probably should have done a bit more searching before I put the effort into pulling that tilt column. A 2WD column will not fit a 4WD truck. With that said, I cannot post classified posts yet, but the 2WD column is for sale for $40 plus shipping costs. Located in zip 94952 SF Bay Area. Thanks.

Took the summer off to work on a few projects around the house, including a new TV console. The wood is all 100+ years old reclaimed Redwood from an old barn. Yes I know, I need a bigger TV. That's a 60" but looks tiny now. Anyways, been back in the truck for the last few nights. Putting the interior back together and wiring up the new seats.

Interior and Mechanical Update
Been putting a little bit of time in on the truck and actually driving it around town with a moving permit. Failed smog due to visual inspection, emissions and idle were spot on, but the pre-EO catalytic converter that was still legal in 2004 (last year smogged) failed visually. New cat and o2 sensor just came in, so that goes on this week. Everything is bolt on, so I'll take out the cat as soon I pass. The new stock muffler sounds pretty good without the cat; back pressure and idle seems fine as well. After I get it smogged and regularly on the streets, power steering is next. I have all the parts ready to go, just need to do it. That's it for now, should have more regular updates moving forward.

I have the same combo corner lights, I have not yet hooked up the turn signal though. I still have the turn signals in my bumper. Did those corner lamps come with bulb sockets for the turn signals? I bought mine on eBay, they shipped from Thailand and of course came with no bulb sockets.
Those headlights are pretty neat, I've never seen that turn signal feature integrated into the headlight. What happens at night with the headlights on, can you even see the turn signal over the glare of the headlight beam?
