Re: Steering column rebuild kit, anyone make them?

Popping this back to the top……

I'm also working on a ‘68 C10 column.....this one has a stuck shift tube. Can’t pull the shifter to the rear and it’s preventing the shift tube from moving out of park. Have the column on the bench, steering wheel off, shaft out, lower bearing off, shift lever out, but can’t figure out how to get the shift tube out of the column to look at the spring that preloads the tube. Top end is in good shape. Low end has 50yrs of dirt/oil/grease on it.

Does anyone have suggestions how to get the shift tube out? Thanks in advance!!!

Started with troubleshooting, now I think I’m on the cusp of a full rebuild. LOL!
