Re: 3 on the tree problems
Before considering a new steering column (which may not even be available) I would look into getting just the bushings. And don't limit your search or inquiries to just trucks & truck sites. I suspect that 3 speed equipped passenger cars likely used the same or very similar bushings. 3 on the tree shifters were common to virtually ALL manufacturers & very popular until the late 60's.
I would think a company like Dorman would have the bushings.

I forgot to add that those shifters were popular in the Dodge B series vans until the last 70's/

Re: 3 on the tree problems
Yes if you have a pattern & the means available, making new from a better material is an excellent option.
