I've picked up most of the bits to begin the conversion process for electric wipers and cruise control and have been reading through all the great info on how to integrate to modern multifunction controls into our coaches. I'm planning a trip to the men's mall soon and I'm hoping others can comment on vehicles to get the upper column from.

In Ken Hendersons excellent manual for the conversion, Al Hamilton's write up is part of the appendix. He mentions 1990-1995 Astro and Safari vans are easy swap candidates. I've called around to local pull-a-part yards and there are none of those to be found. Same with the Lumina/Silhoutte/Transport DustBuster vans - got my wiper module from one of those, wish I would have grabbed the wiper arm and cruise bits at that time!

My cruise module is from a 90s full-size van.

We have lots of 88-94 GM full size trucks in the yards, pre-airbag. Has anyone used one of those with the wiper and cruise conversion?

Thanks guys!
Matt
