Oh, man.... I wish I would have seen this earlier. I just ordered the plastic spacers from Ohio and I paid for over night shipping. You know I was wondering why there wasn't even a piece of the old plastic bushings left on the column? So your saying they were never there hey! The metal spacer looks ...

Welcome from grand Rapids, Mi

Well, I started removing most of my front end that I had put on last weekend. I put the spacers in the wrong place on my shift tube and the only way to get to it is to removed the core support inner fender, and the column I just put in. That's why they call them projects I guess..... What's a guy to...

Looks like I found was I was looking for..... Plastic washers part# C5TZ-7D363-A from Ford ( 2) I hope this is what i needed. I will update it here after I attempt to fix this weekend.

This is the post I needed Great stuff here man

Well, now I'm wondering if that white plastic spacer that I bought from LMC takes the place of the old metal spacer that I had originally? It appears from the photos I took in the beginning that the spacer may go in between the shift arms out of the tube? Can anyone confirm this ?

Oh, Man I think I found the problem? It looks like I may have put the what I would call the keeper on the shift tube on the bottom of the tube instead of the top. I found out last night that the arm for the first gear off the column tube is not disengaging when it goes back to the neutral position. ...

So, how about the arms coming off the column? is the first one the first & reverse and the second arm the second & third gear control?

Installed my 292 Y block this weekend, Now I can start putting the front end back together. Should be ready to fire up by next weekend I hope, as soon as I figure out the three speed on the tree linkage deal!

Okay, Thanks....I will check that as soon as I get home tonight and try it. I will keep you all posted in my findings.!

Thanks a bunch guys.....

Thanks Iceman, I have a manual for 61- and supplement 62 & 63 however, it really dont show me the adjustments very well.
I may need to find a better manual hey?

Thanks for your help However, I pulled out the three speed floor shifter and welded up the hole when I painted the cab. I really want this three on tree to work. I will do what ever it takes to make this column work. I took everything apart in the column and it appeared to be in great shape. I still...

Would anyone have a picture of the shift linkage from the column to the trans? I have tried about everything to adjust but still can't get it to shift into 2nd gear. I put all new bushing in new engine mounts just about everything new. I can get it to shift into 1st just fine, but when I try to move...

I'm having about the same issues with my linkage... Thanks this will help ( I hope)

nice

Ya, My sons talked me in to putting on 16" M/Ts with 265 /75R Good year tires all the way around on my truck. I have not drove it yet, I was just thinking that it is going to be a bear to steer. Maybe I'm just getting nervous or nothing. I don't mind the hard steering of a non power unit. I jus...

Okay, anyone know what I can do now to add power steering to my 63? I seen there was a link on this site that took me to a aftermarket add on power steering unit however, it won't work with a three speed on the column truck. I worked to hard to return it the tree so that's out.... What can I do to a...

What all did you have to change to put that toyota box in?

That sounds like what it is.... Where would the washer nozzles go? and what would activate the washer motor?
