But if i might ask for someone to post picture of this clamp contraption i might learn something. What does this clamp look like? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | See my BLOG post 7/12/17 HERE. My column shifter linkage was getting stuck between gears. I needed to adjust the clamp that holds the lower column bearing. That fixed the problem. No more getting stuck between gears. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters | | Moderator: 60-66 Trucks; North Eastern Bolters Joined: May 2007 Posts: 1,718 | So the clamp referred to above (65chevyc10) is the bracket that is held by the 1 screw shown. And do I understand that the adjustment is accomplished by twisting so the hole moves up the channel?
Thanks for pictures Lugnutz. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | There are actually two bolts. The two diagonal slots allow the lower bearing to be adjusted (by twisting) towards or away from the steering wheel end. Mine was sloppy loose and I'd get it stuck between gears. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 | The clamp you took 2 bolts out of on the pictures you show ,is what I need.
What exactly is it called, and were can I find one?
Thanks,
Chuck

Thanks,
Chuck No idea what the actual name is. You will probably need to get one from a discarded original column. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 86 | Thanks! I've been looking everywhere , and can't seem to find one,
