Thanks Lone Star! That was the goal. It still needs a couple things but overall it's basically "done", whatever that means.
You are 100% correct. Show me where you answered my question? This is funny. I get told to calm down when you literally took time out of your day...

I keep reading about MEC and Model A Only as vendors of the exact adapter. There is actually a post here on the HAMB that had a link for both....
Looks almost stock! I see you've "blurred" out the adapter logo?? Can you tell us the brand and if the bolt pattern is within 1/8" of a GM T5 pattern?
