Nice truck!

I think your column needs a rebuild as things are coming loose in there. Any radial or axial play in the steering wheel at all? That would indicated you need to look at the bearings. Lower bearings quite often come apart. If the shaft is still working good I think the steering wheel at least has to come off and probably the shifter collar to see what is going on. But its been awhile since I owned one with a three on the tree so others might have better advice. I bought new signal switch and harness at Classic Industries, Huntington Beach Ca. if you need that.

Power steering and collapsible column are upgrades you may want to consider.
