Turn signals wouldn't cancel and the horn would not sound. This is what I found when I removed the lock plate.

Cancelling cam is totally gone and the rub button has been yanked clear out of it's socket.

Said it before, some folks just shouldn't be allowed to own tools! Grrrrr!

Do you have parts books to look up things like that? Most counter-people would just stare at the computer screen and say "Boy...I don't even know where a guy would get one of those."
 
Look at it this way Allan...at least the truck came with a free trouble light they conveniently left hanging on the turn signal! It"s a win-win situation buddy!

Of all the things I worked on, I think I hated turn signals the most. Flimsy and easy to break and next to impossible to replace. Wires soldered in and then run down the inside of the steering column to a plug.
 
The canceling cam is one of those things we usually except when we by a very old Chevy pick up. My guess is that Chevy/ GMC truck is between 1989-1995. There should have been a yellow wire & spring running through the dick that was over what we are looking at. The wire goes all the way outboard thru to the actual wheel where it passes thru a round grey peice of styrofoam. I've seen a couple where the peice of wire and spring were simply removed. Because the tilt wheel often breaks, it is difficult to find whole colums at salvage yards. I am actually looking for a colum for mine, a 1992 2500. You may have luck simply looking for the horn parts at a yard, yet, the sigbal cam is not likely going to still be any good on the one you find.
 
What gauge is that, and why is it pegged at the high end? 6 volt meter with a battery charger hooked up?
 

Why would you be complaining?? You"ve two
arms , you can use hand signals!!!!

You should be thankfull for your arms!
 
If your talking about that tachometer on the steering column, it is sitting on zero. It's the white needle. The red needle you see is for setting at the max you want to run the revs up to. Looks like Alan is pretty hard on that old truck, runs her up to around 8500 RPM!
 
We did have a little trouble in that regard. Two parts houses wanted $150 and "had to order it". Knew somethin' was wrong with that picture.

They were trying to sell me the silly intermittent wiper control.

Anyway, all is well now and out to the garage I go to stuff 'er back down in the hole. :>)

That's another thing that I ought to rip outta there.

However, it did come in handy when I was adjustin' the TV pressure on that new transmission. :>)

Allan
 
That's what they were telling me in town. "We usually just replace the whole steering column".

Huh?

There really isn't much to 'em.

Allan
 
Does the terminal block have to come off the end of the harness or will it fit down the column the way it is? bill
 
Allan,

Around here, we've got a yard that allows folks in for $2.

I spent the time to investigate all the GM steering components in various stages of dismantling and found that I learned way more than the admission price.

If you need parts, let me know, I tend to be a regular visitor. Perhaps I could return some of your generosity.

Being an automatic, you should have a few wire harnes clips, the mount that attaches under the dash, and the bolts to attach it at the firewall, a pin that allows you to slide the colum shaft out, and the arm pivot that shifts your transmission, which is a few inches inside the engine compartment. Because the tilt isoften breaking of those trucks, it's not easy to find a whole colum that is servicable. If you find more than one at a descent price share your source.
 
Got 'er handled Dennis.

Just gotta back the ol' heifer out of the garage and go get wife a sandwich. :>)

Oh, by the way, I'm really havin' fun with YOUR project. :>)

Allan
 
Not too darned bad considering I had to call three outfits to find that switch and drive 20 miles to get it.

Hour and forty minutes on the job.

Think I'll go back in the repair business................Naw, not even! :>)

Allan
 
Dang Allen,
Thought this was just a back up work truck - not a "trailer queen"! Keep this up and my Dottir might like it.

PS: Reset tach needle so she don't know hard you tested the transmission. LOL
 
LOL!

Told 'em in at the Chevy garage today that I'm pretty darned sure I need to find another old pickup.

Soon's I overhaul this rear end (parts should be here next week) and put in the new windshield, I've flat worked myself out of a job.

Winter is only half over too......... :>)

Allan
 
That old truck will not let you rest will it? I had a chevy El Camino a little older than your truck. Seams I was always into the top part, probably sililar to your truck. Now what will get your attention is when you get into the tilt part of the stearing wheel. Maybe you've been there? Got to keep those trucks running and safe to drive. Stan
 
I've been wondering lately- You ever get you gleaner going? I don't remember seeing any posts on it in quite a while.

Donovan from Wisconsin
 
Yeah,

Somebody mentioned earlier that "The tilts break".

They don't break, the three bolts just come loose. Pretty simple fix, really.

Allan
 
Thats a cake walk compared to rebuilding the front end on your 10......or maybe not with all those little wires in a tight place. Can't use a sledge and pry bar in there.
 
That's what happened to mine, the bolts loosened. I had parts spread all over my seat, before I got that thing back together. Wasen't a easy fix for me at the time. Stan
