Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
I have a 1970 Dodge D-100 which is an amazing truck, I am currently rebuilding the steering column and wondering if anyone has a parts breakdown pic so I can know if I have all the correct parts. I have the steering wheel removed and the turn signal switch removed, the person who own the truck prior I believe installed incorrectly and had left parts out. I have been trying to locate one but have been unable to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
Is it a simple column as in a 4 speed, a column shifted 3 speed, or a column shifted auto? They're all different....

I apologize for the delay in my response, it is a 4 speed on the floor with a 225 slant six, so it just a plain column.

It took me a long time learning from the forum to have the knowledge I have.
Nobody was born knowing these things.

Re: Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
Exactly! That's why it was asked which he has and the possibilities explained. Since he asked for a parts breakdown, folks would need to know which column in order to properly respond to the request. So far, no one has helped with the requested info.BigBlockTrucks wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 8:53 pmHe is Just a guy learning from others.PwrWgnDrvr wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 6:48 pmIs it a simple column as in a 4 speed, a column shifted 3 speed, or a column shifted auto?

Re: Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
Does the factory service manual have a breakdown of the internal components of the steering column?
If so maybe someone here can post a link or pics.

Re: Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
I know the struggle, lol! I purchased a parts manual, and service manual that are both new reprints but you will find them listed for sale used on places like eBay.

There is a guy (Dodgeboys) on the ramcharger site who has every FSM imaginable. Often if you post your question, he will post up the diagram you need. He also sells FSM in hard copy or pdf form.

Re: Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
You should also get the FSM (Factory Service Manual). It will be exceedingly more useful than the parts book.Rickandkatie1970 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 1:30 pmthank you everyone for your help i decided to purchase the part manual i should have it by Wednesday.

Re: Steering Column rebuild and Turn Signal Switch replacement
I second that! Do get the Factory Service Manual. I recently got a reprint from Faxon Literature on EBay, and I’ve learned more about my truck in a few weeks looking through that thing than I knew in all the years I’ve owned it. Good advice from PwrWgnDrvr.
