removing steering column and other parts... need help

this is my first time doing this, im swapping cabs so i need help on removing my steering column, all the pedals and other underdash stuff. any tips or steps on how to remove these things would be much appreciated, especially on the column, im not sure what the easiest way is...

its an automatic tilt column if it makes any difference.

Steering column removal.

Remove steering wheel, if your seat is out, you can leave the steering wheel on.

Separate column at first joint, (leave extension and rag joint on box for now)

Remove shift linkage from outside lever

Remove clamp on column at outside fire wall

Remove inner retainer at base of steering and pull
rubber seal free of fire wall

Remove upper trim

Remove cover plate

Disconnect wires

Remove upper clamp and lower steering column
and rotate column so that shift arm will clear hole in firewall.
(It helps to have someone help you guide it through)

I don't think that I forgot any steps.

To get the clutch and break pedal assembly out, remove dash
master cylinder/booster and proceed from there to remove clutch linkage and mounting bolt.

Good luck!

Jim
