Re: 3 on the tree bolts?

I don't know how to explain how it's held in there. Mine is held in with a C-shaped hollow cylinder of some sort. Looks almost like a miniature tie rod sleeve.

Re: 3 on the tree bolts?

I have not looked at one for a while, but I swear mine just had a compression pin to hold the lever onto the column. Someone maye have used nut and olt as a substitute when the pin was broken or lost.

Re: 3 on the tree bolts?

You're screwed, ya nut! Get it?!? Oh, sometimes I crack myself up!
Seriously though, it's a compression fit and something I'm dealing with myself on my Camaro. Really, the only thing you can do is get a new column part and a new roll pin thingy. Or maybe use epoxy and glue the bolt and nut onto the column part if this is just a work truck.

Btw, I happen to be selling that column part for $5 + shipping if you're interested. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=191897
