    Help putting ignition lock back in

    I have checked. Double checked. Triple checked the toothed actuator and ignition linkage rod. I’m led to believe that there must be something out of alignment on the black toothed wheel part. No wires installed right now. 1979 so no highbeams or any other parts

    Help putting ignition lock back in

    It won’t fully retract for lock position and won’t engage the bar forward for the steering plate lock.

    Help putting ignition lock back in

    It seems as if the collar on the ignition bar is bottoming out on the housing keeping the actuator from retracting fully.

    That little actuator rack is about to make me crazy. Well, crazier than I already was.

    HELP! 76 GMC c25 frame needs cab swap

    Nice! My brother said we could probably have pop riveted the hump in and used body seam sealer to seal it up. But I weld quite well and just seamed it in. Used a reciprocating saw to cut it out and was done in no time. Only side note to a cab swap is swapping out the VIN plates. Different...

    HELP! 76 GMC c25 frame needs cab swap

    73-87 cabs are all pretty much the same. There are some minor differences that can easily be modified like where the later models the wiper arms come through the cowl and the earlier ones were tucked under the hood. All you have to do is swap out your wipers to fit kind of thing. And then in...

    QUESTION ABOUT TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

    Upon further review of the play..... I have determined that there is a small crack in the plastic of the turn signal switch itself where the lever is attached. It appears that someone torqued down too hard on the screw and cracked it or it just wore out over the past four decades. Either way...

    QUESTION ABOUT TURN SIGNAL SWITCH

    No. I haven't even torn it down yet. I was missing the column shift linkage cover thing that encases the shift linkage rod as well as a new lock cylinder. My turn signal switch still clicks in both directions but you can see the crack when you peek in where the lever attaches. Can also fell...

    STEERING COLUMN QUESTION

    Sounds about right. I think you are correct only with the 84-91. I ordered the lever housing from LMC (for my 1979). It is suppose to be in by 8pm tomorrow. I am going to try and tear the whole column apart this week and replace the broke/missing parts and get it all cleaned up.

    STEERING COLUMN QUESTION

    I believe the part I am looking for sits below the leaver housing. The manual reads, 12. JACKET, Strg Col .................................. 6.518 The manual is for 1979-1982 but was wondering if that particular part was the same on additional years.
