When I get home I'll have to look through my old horn caps. I know I've had at least one of those Chevy caps, there's a chance I still have one.

Thanks again.

OK folks, its been a long trip, but I finally have all the parts I need to complete the steering column and shift linkage.

Many thanks to all who followed or offered help or send me parts.

Final pictures will be of installation.

After that I will close this thread and continue my journey in "Under Construction".

With the parts from @bucket I assembled the ignition key housing. Going to take it to show my locksmith in town, because he didn't know what I was talking about when I asked him for the pre-load spring.

Got other shopping in town as well.

When I get home the column gets completely assembled and put in the truck. NSS and ignition module gets adjusted, and I reassemble the dash and under dash vents.

Then I fire it up.

Pictures will of course be posted.

Looks like I lost all my followers moving to "Under Construction".
