Steering column swap help

(1/1)

Hey guys i have a 83 c10 Silverado trim swb
 I recently purchased a steering column from a 85 blazer that was in better shape then mines. I like it because i woud like to move the dimmer switch and wiper switch in column due to i can't get my pulse to operate. My question is upon doing the swap i noticed that the shaft in the 85 is different. I have the splined shaft and the 85 is the d shaped shaft. Is there a way i  could use the steering column on my 83. What needs to be changed

Splined shaft was 73-77 so you have a different one.  From 83-86 it is pretty easy especially if the pigtail plugs were left with the 86 column

dieselman123:
The column out my truck was splined so wat do i need to do to use the one from the 85???? Change the steering shaft coupler where the splined shaft goes into??

zieg85:
You just have to get the intermediate shaft from the newer style
