Re: what a buy
That does sound like a good buy.
Does the steering column look original? A lot of times the three on the floor used to be a three on the tree.

Re: what a buy
If it's an Illinois truck I'll bet it does need body work. What are you looking for in an engine? I may be able to help out.

Re: what a buy
Sounds like the original column. My bet is that it is the original tranny, with the floor shift conversion. Most of the three speeds were column shift.

Re: what a buy
lets not turn this into a parts thread. Not the time, nor the place.
To the original poster... for 3 bills, you got a VERY good deal. As for the shifter, it isn't stock. All three speeds were column mounted on these. |
