Steering column swap question
 

I just got a column from an 89' 4 speed Suburban, will it have any difficulty swapping into my 84' automatic (converted to 4 speed) K10 cab? I'm specifically thinking about stuff like high beams and other wiring things.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong...

But I believe the columns are the same for the 1984-1991 old body style trucks (excluding of course the 88-91 New body style C/K pickups)

I know pre 84 had the wiper on the dash and high beam on the floor. I was pretty sure before I bought it everything would work, I was hoping no cutting and splicing would have to occur.

I believe too,some need the lower shaft is all I've heard
dimmer, pull the wires from the actuall plug,move to newer style
wipers ,working on it, heard it's wired diff

yeah 78 and older is the only time you need to worry about the lower shaft.

79-83 is all the same, the 73-78s are hard to interchange unless you swap out the turn signal switch

Also some of the 78s used the 79 and up steering shaft b/c I have a 78 tilt column in my 79
