My shifter broke this morning! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Morning guys,

This morning I went to drop my youngest off at daycare and when I went to put the truck in Park, snap! Something inside the column broke and I can no longer engage Park and the lever just flops around. Luckily I can start the truck in N and still operate all the gears so I can get to work...this is my daily driver.

Truck is a 1972 GMC 350/350 combo all original non tilt column.

So without being able to open things up until tonight...can anyone tell me what I have done, what most likely broke and what I'm going to have to do to fix this? I'd like to order parts or find another column/linkage if I have to today to get the ball rolling. I"m assuming this isn't going to be an easy fix.

Thanks for the help!

Bryan
