Steering column help

[64chevmn]

The previous owner of my 1964 c10 truck used duct tape to secure the long steering column tube to the cup that holds the turn signal assembly. At the end of the tube are three ears that I'm assuming slide in and twist to connect the tube to the cup. However, my cup does not have any slots to accept the ears......hence the reason for the duct tape?? I found another cup, but it does not have the hole for the emergency flasher knob. Can someone take a look and give me some directions on what piece(s) I'm missing?

Here is a picture of the cup I found with the slots, but no emergency flasher cut-out

something about those pieces look off. i dont believe these era trucks had a hole for the flashers on the colum either, the flasher attached under the dash

[pimpston65]

ok the black thing with the flasher isnt correct, second the cup with slots should slide on the other white piece and the center shaft twist at the bottom thru the bottom white piece maybe ur center shaft is too short of you havent brought it up high enough or its the wrong center shaft? then the rod with the rag joint slides thru all of it attaching the steering wheel and down to the gearbox

type "steering colum rebuild" in the search box and use 67-72 and not web and scroll down to steering colum rebuild and theres a thread showing all the parts and such...

I found a splice in the turn signal wiring harness so I'm assuming the cup and turn signal harness are from a later model C10 that the previous owner installed. I'll see if I can get the turn signal switch to fit into the white cup.....I'll just have to figure out how to elimate the flasher knob.

The white cup is correct. These trucks had underdash mounted hazard lights...they were never mounted on the columns.
