A friend of mine said you should be able to buy the nylon bushing and spring from a transmission shop. The shop he use to work for sold them all the time...

You will also need the bracket that the nylon bushing sits in, that bolts to the frame

Smile Re: need info on auto column shifter link.

I found the bracket and the piece that goes from there to the tranny, that piece you may have to modify for your truck
