51phat, if you're planning on using a tach in your truck, those leftover "ears" from the shifter would make a fine place to mount it. Oh yeah, I've had one of those columns squirrelled away for over 10 years-I paid $50 for it back then, they're getting harder to come by every day! You might try a local boneyard where "The Good Ol' Boys" go-you know, one with little turnover? Give it a shot-you might be surprised!
