My wife sewed up a new seat cover and we installed that after I patched the giant worn hole in the foam.
Installed new carpet sinse it had the old stuff removed before I bought the truck.
Reinstalled the freshly covered seat.

Rebuilt the steering column. All the tilt bolts were loose or completly out and the shifter drum was broken and missing a big piece along with a worn out ignition switch.
Bought another tilt column that came with the keys that was also falling apart for $20.00 and used the good parts from it to rebuild mine. The ignition switch was brand new. Rusty is coming along.

Sounds like a hell of a deal. I need to bite the bullet and do the same on my K1500. Also has the notorious tilt column with the loose bolts and can play ring around the rosey wiht the steering wheel.

It's usually the springs. You can buy the springs for like $2 in the !HELP section at the auto parts store. Turn signal cam is like $8 or so. Simple to get to, just have to pull the wheel and remove the lock plate. You've done that before, so it should be cake. :whip:
