 I recently scored by getting a really good deal on a 1972 fleetside with low mileage. It has a three speed shifter on the colum and it keeps getting jammed. I had this problem years ago with the same model only alot higher mileage. I assumed it was because of the miles. I guess we all know what happens when you assume something. Does anyone know how to keep the rods from jamming. It is really not much fun when your on the freeway and you cannot shift gears without getting out of your truck and pulling ont he levers.
