Finally got my latest ebay find home yesterday, a nice low rust (for Illinois) 1970 C-10. The 3 on-the-tree shifter doesn't engage anything in the forward-backward neutral position. It appears to only go into 2 and 3, no R or 1. Where should I start looking for the problem? It seems like it is probably something not engaging inside the steering column or maybe something broken on the shift lever. Any suggestions on where to start? Hopefully I can get it in the garage this weekend to melt the snow and see if I can get her moving down the road (after the snow/salt season, of course).
