Shifter Stuck in Tilt Column - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '72 with a tilt steering column, an automatic and only 84K original miles. The shifter has always been smooth and easy. After driving one day, I pulled into my driveway and went to put the truck in Park, but I couldn't. In fact, I could just barely get it into Neutral from Drive. I can move the shifter to the lower Drive settings, but not the other direction. I disconnected the shifter at the tranny and the problem is clearly in the steering column. What could be jamming the shifter in the column?
