Correct. The only issue would be using the new wiper switch. Pretty sure the ign switch connector is the same, I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Wiper (on stalk) and the ignition switch will be different, but if you swap the ignition it should work...

Here's the tilt steering column from out of a 1985 GM Blazer,

It has a Barry Grant steering wheel and wheel kit on it.

What is this wire coming out of the column?  Is it a factory wire or does it have something to do with the custom steering wheel like the horn?  (Haven't had time to take the steering wheel off to see where the wire goes, though someone might here might know?)

That column is out of no later than an '83 model and that wire is for cruise control.

It's all bolted in and wired up.  Just have to hook up the shift linkage and that will have to wait until Sunday.
