ok ok my question is how do yiou get the shift collor for a 3 0nthe tree off the sterring collum without pullin the collun any advise will be considered oh yea i almost forgot i don't want to destroy any thing Thanx Seth
Remove the steering wheel (obviously), turn signal cam, the snap-ring (you'll need snap-ring pliers so you don't destroy it) and respective hardware. The collar will then come off. Hopfully you have a floor-shift collar to replace it with. It's a pain in the @$$ and you'll need to be careful to avoid damaging anything...
collar I have a 3 on the tree 69.5 (which is the only few months models that will fit) I intend on keeping original, if you take yours off and want to sell it I am VERY interested in trying to get a couple of spares, have even toyed with the idea of getting one intact and having a machine shop try to copy it. PLEASE be careful removing it the slide inside is on a potmetal arm that has a weak point and will break off and let me know if you want to get rid of it. I am on the last one in the state of GA so if mine now breaks its out of option time.
hi kelly, are you about ready to do that motor swap? as you know, i will be retiring soon. we will have plenty of time to do it then. ( the package did me good). how is the new paint job on the truck holding up? you need to stop by and get this head. shoot me an e mail...frank...
