84-86 3 speed manual steering column

[zieg85]

I am searching for a 3 speed column (3 on the tree) with all the linkages including the levers on the transmission from a 1984 or newer with the integrated wiper/dimmer switch on the turn signal lever.

OK found everything but the levers that bolt on the transmission. Does anyone have any on a parts truck or a transmission sitting on a shelf. I'd like to even see a picture if anyone has a 3 speed column shift set up.

Found everything I needed, 6+ year search completed

Sorry no one could help and honestly I don't think I've ever seen a 3 on the tree past 1980 models.

No problem, endless searching between eBay, Craigslist and Facebook I finally found everything I needed. 3 on the tree trucks were mainly bought as work trucks and discarded many years ago. I bought this 1986 C10 back in 2007 with 70K original miles. The shift collar was broken so the previous owner put an inexpensive floor shifter which is how I bought it. I started my search back then and it kinda went on the back burner. I started back looking about a year ago and never gave up. It took parts from 4 sources to piece together everything. Now I can finally finish it the way I want to. Mind you it hasn't seen the street since 2007.

I know the base of three spd columns wear out where the linkage hooks up and I hear they don't make replacement parts for that. Did you find one not worn or did they start making parts for them?

My daily driver is an 81 with 3 on the tree. Not that there is any reason you should have ever seen it.

Do you happen to remember those sources, or have any manuals that break down the column?

My shifter, on the column, is what broke on mine. It will only shift 1st and reverse and just kinda hangs there. The shifting mechanism inside the eng compartment is fine.

I don't have the break down, sorry. My column shift collar is broken, the rest may be fine. If you can figure out what you need and I what I have is still good you are more than welcome to it. 84-87 columns only are hard to find in the midwest.

Thank you! Hopefully I can get on it this week.
