My /70 C-10 hasn't been driven in a while and I finally got it running pretty well and registered. The 3-on-the-tree shifter is very stiff. It moves up and down fine, but the forward-backward movement does not move well. What is the best way to free up the shifter? I have tried spraying the shift mechanism under the dash but it has not loosened up any. Can I get at the shifter rod without major disassembly of the steering shaft.
