Where to find 3 speed shifter?
So after a month with this truck and lots of work and inspection, my steering colum and 3 on the tree shifter/linkage are VERY worn out. I own a 63' C10 with what I believe is the original 3 speed tranny, I drive this truck everyday and I don't have the money or the knowledge to replace or rebuild the colum or 3 on the tree linkage. I believe personally that it would be better for me to install a shifter to the floor, yes I know they can be pricey, but I am already sick of my linkage getting stuck or sometimes I can't even find the gears. Sometimes it gets stuck in 3rd gear and when I let go of te clutch at a red light, it stalls and I have to open th hood and pull it out of gear -,- embarassing! Hah.... I've tried adding washers and new cotter pins to stiffen up the linkage where it connects to the tranny, and I installed new bushings up top by the colum, but this truck is just tired. I love the truck though and don't want to get rid of it, I'd rather improve it..... Anyways my question is, where do I find the right Floor shifter for a 1960-1966 3 speed Chevy truck? I went on eBay and all I see is stuff for 70's chevy's, fords and Mopar stuff. I would be upset to buy the wrong style shifter and can't use it.... I'm sure there are people on here that know exactly what I need and lookin for. I know they can get expensive, so if any knows where I can find one at a decent price, please let me know. If you guys have any advice or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
