95 to 98+ dash swap
Simple is better! If I can just get the light switches to work, heater controls to do their thing, im sure i could find a way to make the gauge cluster fit. Either way, i will learn something!

Wasn't there a thread on this not so very long ago? I like the locations of the cruise buttons on the newer steering wheels better.....

**EDIT**
Here's the thread, but he didn't take any pictures and he performed a complete column swap vice just the steering wheel.

Ah, yep. (my search-fu kinda sucks.... )
I would like to think that not a heck of a lot changed on the column itself..... but, auto manufacturers have been notorious for ignoring my suggestions...... not sure what that is all about. I need to make a trip to the yard later today...... if the opportunity presents itself, see if I can't figger something out.

if you do the swap get a headlight switch from an 01, the pull type switches suck, and with the newer style you can wire aux lighting into the switch because the will be several extra wire pin avaliable. i wired up one in my 98 and its nice not having to flip 900 switches to get all of my driving and aux lighting to turn on

I hope to get to the yard today if i get out of work early enough, and start tearing into one, providing they have the right one.
