I think '81 steering columns didn't use the wiper switch on the column, it was on the dash... At least it was on my '81 elcamino. As far as everything else being a direct swap, yes it'll fit. I put in an '84 GN column in the elky just because I wanted wiper switch on the column with "delay". All harnesses plugged right in.

Yep. You need one from a 84-88 G-body. 82 and 83 will work but you'd have to swap over a few parts.
