Hello fellow bolters I bought my 51 3/4 ton 6 years ago when my son was born. It's moved around with us alot and has gone through many stages of works in progress. I'm hoping to have it done in time for when he gets his driver ls grin. anywho I came across a 66 c10 ten that gave me a donor motor to keep the looks of the bolt sorduv.... and have the advanages of a newer motor.. I'm still trying to get it to my shop to rebuild it..there is a first time for everthing.. since ive never rebuilt an engine i have lots of q's.. for for right now I'm having troble with my colum shifter my beloved three on the tree. Im in need of advice on adjusting it to keep it from getting stuck... any help would be great thanks.

Welcome Grin. So your goal is to get it done in 10 years? That should be doable, your son can already hand you the wrenches. Any trouble I used to have with the linkage was usually right at the transmission. Often some slack or worn shifter connections.
