Removing The Steering Column

[BLE 'BURBAN]

Ok guys I need some help here. I'm getting ready to swap out the non tilt column for a tilt column in my '90 Burb V2500. I've looked for threads on this and haven't found any REAL answers to my questions so I thought I'd ask those of you who've done this deed in the past.
This is what I know I'll have to loosen/remove to get the old one out...
LOWER DASH BEZEL
LOWER DASH COVER PLATE
DISCONNECT PRNDL WIRE
REMOVE 2 MOUNTING NUTS UNDER DASH
DISCONNECT HEADLIGHT DIMMER, TURN SIGNAL, IGNITION AND NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCHES
REMOVE MOUNTING BOLTS AT FIREWALL (HOW MANY?)

UNDER HOOD
REMOVE HAIRPIN CLIP FROM TRANNY LINKAGE & PUSH LINKAGE OUT OF ARM.
REMOVE MOUNT -THROUGH BOLT AT END OF UPPER COLUMN ASSEMBLY.


Is this ALL I need to do to pull the column or are there any other bolts unbeknownst to me?

Inquiring minds need to know. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

I think you pretty much got it you did forget to mention the vent tube that runs under the column If your burb is equipped with them.

Vent tube!? Are you talking about the vacuum tube for the cruise control that feeds down to the brake pedal switch? If so, thats not installed.......YET.

I think he means the a/c duct that goes to the vent near your left knee.

I guess I wasn't thinking when I posted that. The vents are only in the dash when the truck has a/c. That is a warm part of the country item.

I run mine on vent most of the year. The only time I don't is during ice or snow fall. I realize where you are that happens a lot more often, but I still prefer the heat to hit me them everything else.

Well I'm saving up for my big move south with in the next year and a.c. will be needed when I get down south so.........

There is a column mount attached to the firewall under the brake booster that needs to be removed. It has two 15mm nuts. Normally it is a pain to get access too.
