Steering Column Repair: 72 chevy truck auto column shift trouble, salvage yards, custom column


Question
I broke the shift lever trying to pull the lever into reverse,
it is binding up, needs lube or something. It's just a work
truck, but it would be nice to shift into park, which it wont
now unless I go under the hood. Looking for solutions, other
than a new custom column... thanks.

Answer
John:
This one is too hard to determine exactly what is binding up that might have caused your lever to break...Sorry
Maybe some of the video on our website will help you determine it yourself.

You can replace it with a used column if you can find one or you can rebuild it with the parts from the used column.

For used parts...Try this site.  You may be able to find what you need.

It's the website all the salvage yards use when they say "Hang on--let me see if my other yard has it".  Actually it's an online database of all the salvage yards in America.  You can search by part, location or price

Good Luck
