Great job! Looks like a nice swap. Why did you reuse the steering column from the duramax though? What was wrong with the original trucks' steering column?

I'll poke around a bit on the power windows. I'm sure there's a few other guys that will too, what year was the donor 01-02?. If your using to 96 door harness and switches you should be able to just use the donor wires and rebuild the harness using the 96 schematic. There's a guy theferminator that runs a OBS suburban with a dmax, he might be able to shed some light for you.
