I have it on my 85, and it was easy to set up. Since yours is an 04, the electric pedal is most likely all metal. Since the shape of the 04 pedal is different than the OEM you will need to cut the OEM pedal off and along with a spacer, weld it to the 04 assembly like this:

Also can I swap the steering column from the '04 to the c10? i would like to keep the factory anti-theft if possible and cant find any one that has done this yet.

This might be rather difficult without doing a lot of modification to the dash around the bezel.

And I read that using 2" setback plates would let you use the original drive shaft. the driveshaft lenght is my biggest concern because where i live the is no one that does driveshfts!!

Correct. Using these plates will allow you to reuse the original driveshaft, and make the shift linkage hook up with out any modifications other than to adjust the frame-to-column rod, and some minor hammer tweaking on the linkage between the frame and trans.
These would be the plates you want:
If you have the ability to make them, it would be cheaper than shipping them to the Caymans.
Note: The hole that needs countersunk is marked wrong. It should be the top row,
second hole from the left. And each plate would need one countersunk on the opposite side, one for each side. And it's also not marked that the top left and third from left holes (as shown in the pic) should be drilled and tapped for a 3/8"-16 bolt.
Don't know if it has A/C or not, but we have all figured out a way to use the 5.3L's compressor in the original spot. If you are going to do this, let me know and I can help you with the mods needed.
