Seeking Dimmer SW actuator rod for V2500

[SquirlyDan]

I'm looking for a dimmer switch actuator rod "GM# 7844199" for my 1990 V2500 Suburban with a tilt column.

Referencing a 10 year old thread:

"Should be the same for 85 to 87 GM fullsize trucks and 85 to 91 Suburban and Blazers with tilt columns."

I haven't been able to find this little guy anywhere searching around. If anyone has one laying around I'd appreciate it.

Why not buy the one on ebay.

The dimmer rod itself i can't find without buying a whole steering column, definitely searched there pretty heavily across several sites.

The other stuff was offered with it and I was asked if I wanted anything else to go with it. Chats don't allow one to send pictures so we put them here while talking in the background.

Makes sense

I found the dimmer rod! Very rare part. It was the only one left. Spent $100 on a piece of round stock! I plan on attempting to duplicate this part. If successful I may make several if there are interested parties.

I could certainly use one - mine fell out and I put it somewhere safe so I wouldn't lose it. The surefire way to locate it is to buy a new one, and then the old one will magically re-materialize from whatever alternate dimension it is existing in.
