Look for another local, Jim Brad, he goes by Fourbrads here on Stovebolt. He recently rebuilt his shifter after it came apart while driving!

Looking forward to seeing your truck soon....

Bo,

I'm far from an expert, but I do have some recent experience with things falling apart in my hands and having to rebuild them.

In this thread, I asked the same question. The Truck Shop in Orange was who I used for my rebuild kit. Nobody has the same obscure parts as them. Bit of a wait though...

If you want to get together and discuss, PM me.

Fourbrads,
Truck and Car Shop has another store in Concord, NC. I call I an order and save on postage since it’s on the east coast. ‭Here’s the number (704) 979-6490‬.

I rebuilt my 1965 column, including the lower bearing. Was pretty straight forward. You just need to be sure the parts are not badly damaged.
