Smooth shift collar

Post by akaFrankCastle »

Have an NP435 or floor shifted 3 speed in your Bronco and hate that old column shift nub? Well, you're in luck. I have TWO smooth steering column collars with turn signal housings attached. These replace the old 3 speed shift socket and enable you to remove all of that old 3 speed stuff from inside your column. One is from a 1973 truck, the other from a 1975. Accordingly, each has a different style of upper steering shaft bearing in them. Also, these are best suited for post-73 Broncos as they are notched for the column mount hazard switch. But you can reuse your 73 and earlier turn signal housing by drilling two small holes in it.

Brand new one of these would run you 65.00 from Tom's (only vendor I could find who sells them) and that is before shipping. Also, Tom's doesn't state whether the turn signal housing is included.

Some dude on CB.com asks $25+ shipping on his.

I would like 25.00 each for these and prefer not to ship.

If you want one blasted and powder coated black, lemme know. I gotta guy.

*bearing replacement, if you deem necessary, is on you.

I can use one. I'm tired of the empty floppy shift hole. Plus it funnels cold air from somewhere.

Shawn always says there is nothing good about a cold, breezy, floppy shift hole.

I am not sure which i need to be honest, the column in the 69 is a mish mash of parts but it still has the shift column thing... how do i tell?

I really tried to word it differently as I knew the sentence structure was a prime target... certain alternative words for breezy and floppy came to mind.

Pulling the steering wheel is a sure fire way.
