CO WTB 1970 3OTT column shift linkage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BlackZ** · 07-28-2021, 10:48 PM

Looking for the 3OTT shift rods/linkage that go from the end of the steering column to the 3 speed saginaw, v8 smallblock equipped 2wd truck. I need the rods/linkage and the shift arms off the transmission to finish converting mine back to stock. Thanks in advance!

I have some linkage that came off a 4x4 but not sure what year. Will you be able to tell if I post pictures.

Possibly, I have a set of links from a 68 that I know don't come close to fitting but I don't have many details from the donor truck either. Mine is a 2wd but if they share the same 3 speed it might work. Post a pic if you wouldn't mind.

If 1rippen6 can’t help you and you aren’t in a hurry, in Sep I’m doing the exact opposite of you - converting my 3OTT to an automatic. Mine’s a 70 C10 Suburban 350. I don’t know if it’s a Saginaw but I’m not sure what others they used.

**1rippen6** · 07-29-2021, 07:47 PM

Here is what I have

Lemme double check mine in the morning, they're at the shop so I don't have them in hand but i think they look different than what I have. How much you want for them?

71K5Randy, I'm pretty much at the mercy of whatever I can find, if I still need them by September I'll let you know. Thanks!

**1rippen6** · 07-30-2021, 08:39 AM

80 plus shipping, if still interested send me your zip and I'll get a quote.

**BlackZ** · 07-30-2021, 12:11 PM

Now that I'm looking at them, I think it's the same shift rods I already have.

**1rippen6** · 07-30-2021, 12:21 PM

Yes, they do, lol.

Very cool, thanks in advance!

Dirt's72 · 08-16-2021, 09:39 PM

This is what I have I acquired these as I was needing a pair for a 250 3ot saginaw. The first two from the left look like the two in the middle. I'm not sure what they are off of.

Dirt's72 · 08-16-2021, 09:42 PM

Sorry the pic came up sideways. Looks like the top one and the third one from top to bottom are the same one. The other four look different.

Dirt's72 · 08-16-2021, 09:55 PM

What happened to the edit button? Actually looking again that third one down is shorter. So it would appear they are all different.?

Looks like the bottom pair could be a match, I've been poking around old for sale ads on the classifieds and they look like they could work. How much shipped to 80615?

**BlackZ** · 08-16-2021, 10:17 PM

I guess technically it could be the middle pair too, since I only have one wrong set to compare to and the middle ones are definetly shorter than the top. Quote me for middle and bottom pair when you get time, thanks! Could you also measure them?

Edit: this thread details some of the differences, maybe it'll help others who need to see it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=780441&page=3

Dirt's72 · 08-18-2021, 07:28 AM

I will measure them after work today.

Dirt's72 · 08-18-2021, 08:20 PM

From the middle to the bottom lengths, 22 3/8" , 26 1/2", 23 1/8", 27 1/2".
Let me know if those might work I'll sell all 6 of them or the 4 for $30 plus the shipping charges.

Couldn't hurt to grab all 6, just in case. I'll take them, sending you a pm.
