71 c-10 shifter handle issues
I purchased a billet shifter handle for my truck and the end that releases the shift lock out is too short. The company on ebay i bought it from said that they sell dozens and never had this issue b4.
Can anyone tell by looking at the pics whether my original is for a 1971 or not. I had to file the adapter on the end so it would fit into the square hole on the bowl but noticed the other problem after i had filed it so no returns for me. I only had to file off .004 to make it fit nicely. Thnaks jp |

Re: 71 c-10 shifter handle issues

Is your truck an auto or three speed? Is the shifter for an automatic or a three speed? Does your truck have a tilt column? Is the shifter for a tilt column? I don't know if it will help but the non-tilt Automatic one from my '69 measures 1 9/16" from the tip to the center of the hole. Not to sound like the post police but when you post a question include all of the information you possibly can. You will get more answers and responders won't have to ask so many questions....

Re: 71 c-10 shifter handle issues
I thought about that after I had posted and couldnt go back and edit. Yes it is an automatic, non-tilt
My original is also 1 - 9/16 The replacement measures 1 - 1/8 |

I'm not familiar with the later shifters (73-up) they may use the shorter throw shifter. My guess would be that is what it is for. LockDoc

That is for a later model truck. The shape of the end is the give away.

Re: 71 c-10 shifter handle issues
Thanks Longhorn Man. I think rather than deal with the hassle of returns I will just drill out the roll pin and remove the adapter on the end. Then I will take my old shifter handle and cut of the end and mill it to fit inside the handle and install a roll pin below the surface and put a allen head set screw for added safety.
