    I appreciate your note, but actually...why would you want to defeat the brake light switch? Selo

    Brake lights always on

    Hey Shorty81, I love my 3 on-the-tree. Having the column rebuilt by Steering Columns Galore was expensive, but well worth it. I plan to keep the 250 as well. The speedo quit after 200K. I have taken good care of the engine even when the truck has sat for months. I keep the battery on a...

    Brake lights always on

    Goldie, That is exactly what happened. When I released the wire connector and pulled it apart I unknowingly pulled the switch in the direction of the seat. This moved the switch away from the brake pedal arm so switch could not contact the arm and turn off the switch. I pushed it back and now...

    Brake lights always on

    Finished installing the professionally rebuilt 3-on-the-tree steering column in my bone stock 250 ci 1984 C10. Everything works well EXCEPT the brake lights stay on even with ignition switch off. All other lights work fine. Did I bump it and break something (pun intended). Selo

    Three on tree and steering refurbish

    Doc, Thank you. I think I may have found the clips. Will let you know when I find the sleeve. I'm hoping to find it in nylon, my guess is the OEM was steel. Cheers, Selo

    Three on tree and steering refurbish

    Update: the pitman arm nut on my 84 C10 is definitely 33mm. I got the pitman arm started on the gear box shaft and the nut with washer started with no problem. Is it standard procedure to use the nut to push the arm completely on the shaft? I plan to loosen the gearbox mounting bolts a...

    Three on tree and steering refurbish

    rt66paul, I appreciate the info, but regardless of size I don't want to cut the floor. Doubledingo, I hear you. It ain't stock but once. The column shift difficulty is hard to understand, I don't remember having any trouble with it in my first three on the tree. Cheers

    Three on tree and steering refurbish

    Thanks Bucket. I checked Carlyle tools at NAPA and they did not have a 33mm in stock. I did not go to other NAPA stores as I went home and ordered it online with my Amazon Prime. It will be here tomorrow which is good because I made some progress tonight. I got the gearbox threads chased...

    Three on tree and steering refurbish

    Richard, yeah, you'd think those 3 speeds would be easier to find. Charlie, thanks for the welcome from way out in Euless. Idahovette, I'm not sending my original gearbox back for that very reason. I may rebuild it. Bucket, Might be easy socket to find somewhere, but the local auto parts...

    Three on tree and steering refurbish

    New here, hope everyone is doing good. I have a 1984 C10 250 I6 with three on the tree. The column shifting mechanism needed to be cleaned and greased etc and the link between the starter switch and key lock was screwing up to where I could not turn the key enough to engage the starter. SO to...
