Steering Column Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wow! What a message board. I just found it. You all are awesome and knowledgeable. Which leads me to my question. I've got a 72 C10 with a "late model" steering wheel. Somebody didn't put all the pieces back in it at some point in time. I am posting a picture of my column. After I removed the wheel, I was exposed to the turn signal switch. No lock plate or anything. So I am trying to put the right parts back in it. All the lock plates I have seen are splined and the retaining clip keeps it and the cancelling cam compressed. As you can see, my column isn't splined, it is fine threaded. What do I do and what am I missing? PLEASE HELP, SOMEBODY. PLEASE.

Thanks in advance,
Brad
