Can someone tell me what the differences are between the two? Is it just related to the turn signal mounting? Or is there a difference in the steering box?

Someone else may know other differences. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 | When did Chevy switch to a shorter steering mast and a dished steering wheel, instead of the wheel with straight spokes?
