Missing wire from Gear selector to column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm missing that tiny looped wire that connects the gear selector needle on the dash to the steering column. Anyone know where to get one? I can't find it in LMC or year one.

Thanks!

I would say go to a junkyard if you can and pull the whole panel off, and you can then you can get the wire with the little "slider" under there. It's pretty straightforward after you get the dash bezel off.

Thanks. The junkyard near me is fresh out.

I bought one from a member here for $10 and never had to take my butt to the junk yard. Well worth it even with the subscribing member fee to post WTB ads in my opinion. Edit: I'll be trading my 3-speed indicator for a 4-speed soon if you want mine just pm me.
