Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train column shifter rebuild kits ?

My 1965 C10 p/up has a 3-on-the-tree and that's the problem . Apparently the shifting linkage , inside the column itself , is worn out and I can't get it to shift properly .Does anyone know if a rebuild kit is available for this ? I don't need a steering column kit , only one involving the shift linkage inside the column . Thanks for any help you have to offer !

blu,

i'm positive i saw an advertisement for shift tube repair kits in a hemmings. i'd look it up for you, but my sneaky step-son 'stole' my copy! USA1, may have what you need, too.

hope this helps........

Have you tried adjusting the linkage on the column?

There was a thread on stovebolt.com recently with various solutions from welding up the ends of the levers on the column to adding washers to take out the slop between the levers. Let me know and I'll find it for you.

There's a collar in there that's made of "pot metal" & wears over time.

Check with the dealer or one of the "old truck" outlets etc.

Generally the outside adjustment doesn't change but check it first as mentioned.

Good luck.
