72 Tilt Column Spring
 

I have searched and have yet to find the info I need. I have a 72 c10 with factory tilt column. The spring behind the shift selector is not working.

My parts guy says the correct GM#7800670 but nobody seems to have this spring GM#7812853 is for every year except 71-72. Has anyone used the other spring. Does anyone know what the difference is? Can you replace the spring without taking the whole column apart?

Any help much appreciated.

Not much to go wrong unless it is broken.

I thought mine was missing, but it was stuck in the column cover in some nasty grease.....you might check.

It took removing the column and turning it over, but I got it.
