Today I was able to get the P/S conversion done… and the test drive went beautifully...
I also replaced the non-cancelling T/S switch with a new one…Thanx Scott for the tech support call… Afterwards I swapped out the large OEM wheel with a wheel off the S10 column we scored for Wiper switch parts for my bud Klown…

On to the Pix…
I started out mounting the Trans Oil cooler…

While speaking with Scott aka sduckworth13… I removed the Auto column Shift indicator and learned that the pointer was lit by a type of fiber optic set-up… I removed that along with the gear indicator lens… If anyone is looking to restore an original Auto Column, and you need these parts, PM me… I put a flashlight up to the bulb socket and the indicator pointer lights up…
Here are the parts…

Hopefully I'll get the grille swap done soon...
