I've since put in an after market universal switch on the dash in the hole where the cigar lighter once occupied. Would really like to put in a "new" column. I just wanted to know what GM column in install in an 82 J10. If anyone knows what will swap in, let me know.
As tgreese pointed out at the bottom of page 2 you don't want a GM column.
While they use GM parts they are different in several areas.
You also do not want a FSJ column from the 70's, they have a slightly different throw on the shift linkage making it very hard to adjust.
You will want a FSJ coulmn (for an auto I assume) from 81-85.
Might be able to go newer but I think they 86+ ones are different also.
