Put the temp sensor in today, then loaded it up with a couple wheelers, family of 5 and both tanks full and went to my dads. Lotta canyons, lotta pulls and I got 200 miles on the rear tank. How you think that is?

The wheel itself? Where it bolts to the column?
I had an old car like that before, and it ended up being the nut that hold the wheel on - the wheel and column had teeth that engaged when it was put on, then the nut kept everything there.
I assume these are the same way, but have never had the wheel off of mine. You might pull the center of the wheel to see what's in there - if that nut is loose, it might be like my old car was - the teeth chewed each other up and I had to replace all that stuff to get the wheel to stay tight.

Some updates....took the truck for a 1k mile round trip getaway at the dunes. Truck ran great, got around 220 miles per tank fully loaded up, and I mean fully loaded. It was a little odd getting there it wouldn't go much past 70 mph, the way back cruised at 80 no problem. Same load and everything.
Today I hit up a junkyard and got the steering colum. I ended up just swapping them out. I did have to tranfer a couple parts over as it was a 95 with air bag. But it is perfect now. Cruise and horn work flawlessly too!
I still have not been able to get the drivers door switch to make the cab light to work. I got another switch so I know it isn't that. I have no buzzer either, ever. Tomorrow I am hoping to get the new water pump on and fuel filter.
