plastic box big enough for two...
Hard to pick it out of the lineup, if it's there, in your pictures. (Although I did get a good look at the little black wheel/dial that you turn in order to adjust the gear shift indicator... Been needing to tackle that little job on my truck.)
The signal flasher should be in a plastic box that looks big enough for two of them. I believe my box/cover was white, and it actually had a piece of narrow black tape around it from the factory. The cover snaps off, and there are actually two "flashers" inside - one a bit bigger than the other.
Since I know exactly where mine is /what it looks like, I can snap a picture for you, but I won't be back home with the truck until after work today...

Well, I did notice some blocks in my fuse panel that looked similar to the flasher I bought. But according to everything I've read online, it's to the right of my steering colmun, and my fuse panel is to the left.

pictures and mental map
P'smurf,
Okay, it took me a bit to re-orient when I went looking under there. When I replaced my flasher, I took the entire lower dash panel off (the piece below the steering column. (tons of little screws and a lot of patience, but it definitely made it easier in the long run...)
If you start at the gas pedal, follow it up to where it connects to the 4 - 5 in. long shiny cylinder. (think big metallic cigar-shape) In my '02, that cylinder almost points right at the box that contains the flasher. On mine, the box is black - both the top and bottom. As mentioned previously, it had a piece of tape on it the first time.
See the pics I snapped w/ my phone and labeled w/ the computer. In the last pic, the red arrow points to the "top" and the green arrow is pointing to the bottom.
