Made a tad little bit of room to work between the already restored Hunter Green 1948 Chevrolet 3100 pick-up & the '52 'burb project by placing the '52 Chevrolet Suburban Carryall's windsor blue hood sideways in the '48 pickup bed. On the steering column at the base I first: 1) removed the shift linkage mechanism with the rods for the 3 on the tree; 2) I then began removing the caked on soil, grease & clay using putty knife, small wire brush, and lots of rags. It helped using brake cleaner rather than goof off. See pics. I have a bit more of that greasy job but there is always another day for pleasurable restoration work on our stovebolts. See pics.
