I cannot see it being too tough. Just make sure you grab that part that goes from the rag joint down to the steering pump, they changed throughout the years. The column will otherwise bolt in physically. You may need to change the connectors on the column's wiring, I do believe they may have changed too. The wiring really shouldn't be all that tough to change

I'd like to have my wiper control on the column, but its not that big of a deal at this point in time...Later Mike

It should be easy. I think the plug is close to the old one to plug in.
