I can speak from experience on this one which is kinda crazy, Morgan and Morgan are the BEST.
The shifter mechanism isn't too hard to put back in place. Unhook one shift rod from the column, then move the finger that moves between the 2 column arms until it is connected to one of the arms. You should be able to reconnect the rod and shift gears then, at least until it hangs back up in gear.
Im been looking for a 1969 chevy c10 for a project truck for me and my dad to work on and would love to have one
Bro please try to drive it it's cool truck
I just got a 72 gmc long bed in similar condition as this truck
If you look in a manual it will show you how to adjust the shift rods on the column with a drill bit that fits through both of the rods and a reference hole on the column in neutral position with the adjusters on the transmission levers on the transmission. This is not that complicated and it fixes it almost every time so find that article and there you go.
Let's get this up voted so he sees this, maybe he'll take a Crack at it

My father recently got a 2008 4.6 liter Ford Mustang GT and I’ve been customizing it because of CZcamsrs like you. You make not only me but a lot of people love restoring and customizing cars. This is a saying I always go by. Where other people see junk and trash, I see an opportunity to learn and have fun.
👍👍
“Only suing the Insurance Company” is why my commercial insurance cost me $2500 a month..
When I was a kid, my dad had a 69' C10 lwb Blue on White. It was a rust bucket but that truck held more memories for me than I thought when it was sold.
My favorite body style .
My dad had a 67 & I learned to drive it in the hay fields when I was 12 ...
Those 6 cylinders are almost indestructible. Love you got it running. Got a engine and a tailgate. Bonus! Merry Christmas 🎄
👍👍
Easily one of the best vehicles I ever had was a really nice original longbed like that. Same powertrain but with factory tach and soft headliner, coil springs, and a really nice two tone paint job. I had the last payment on the dash and was headed to the post office to mail it when my neighbor's hunting dogs ran out in front of me and I hit a soft shoulder on a bank, rolled it, and mangled the cab.
I always wanted to build one like that with a Pontiac 4v OHC six and a T5.
It's pretty amazing how resilient those old sixes were. Not surprised at all that one cranked up and ran ok.
I drove one of those (my Dad's) around 74-75. The column shift would occasionally jam and you'd have to get out and pry on the levers under the hood to get it shifting again.
I know that well, my dad had a '66 that did the same thing.
I once had to do that in a McDonalds drive through on a 74'.
@@markc5593 Yeah it was usually because my teenage self was slamming thru the gears... 😁
👍👍
While I'm dreamin', Dylan is out here living the dream.
👍👍
I think the issue with the trans is that the trans mount broke and bent something when that thing rolled on it's passenger side. Likely, the drivetrain flopped about a bit when it was on it's roof. That also explains the hood dent, roof dent and generally mangled state for the passenger's side fender, and why it was used for parts. It's probably what parked it.
Just disconnect the second and third gear linkage so you'll have first in reverse without hang up and and disconnect and loop the heater core hoses so you can drive it around the yard
If I had this man's garage, it would be filled with exactly the same vehicles. Just love the content sir!
👍❤️
I all honesty great to see you putting out content on a Saturday and I promise you I'd make one out of two. Great Job 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
👍👍
I love that truck, the patina is perfect in my book, it would make a wonderful donor for a 454 that I know of, getting it out to Arizona would be a problem tho, I hope to see this project through! Thanks Dylan!
👍👍
OMG, Dylan on a Saturday & a Chevy! Great job 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
👍👍
All the dents and the single miss matched door and all that patina give this truck some character
Back in the old days when the carb was mounted on the Exhaust manifold @Dylan McCool
So many things on my mind watching this. 1) I wish it was for sale. 2) I wish I had money in the event it was for sale. 3) IF it was for sale I wish it was closer to Texas. And more... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😒🤔🤔🤔 Awesome video! God bless you.
The finger that moves the shifter arms on your column needs to be moved back into the right position. It may be easier if you unhook the rod to one side so you can get that piece back in alignment.
👍👍
I met Mr. Morgan, was working down in FL, Fort Myers convention center... he was doing a seminar for law and stuff about his son, but he was probably the most honest lawyer I've ever met in person.. what a wonderful man.. he's got a GREAT team working for him.. Trust is with Morgan, I will say that.. I have a picture somewhere
Seen these trucks in an add on facebook I believe. Good to see you taking tare of them
👍👍
Love your videos man keep up the great work with these videos they are super fun to watch
👍👍
I have a big soft spot for those trucks! my dad had an orange 72 C10 long bed for 20+ years. I grew up riding around in it, and ended up owning it myself for 5-6 years. I miss it a lot, but it was about as rough as that one. Heres my vote, pull the 250 I6 out, freshen it up, 4-barrel and headers, slap a GM T-5 behind it and slide it in that gorgeous 68! then get some V8/trans combo for that truck, get tires and brakes on it, and just go have some fun! burnouts, dirt road sliding, who knows what lol. Great video man!
👍👍
I love the quality and care you put in these videos it feels so sincere I can just tell you love what you do and it helps that either you or your editor is quite good at their job
👍👍
I had a 69 Chevy C20. Body rusted away and I sold it over a decade ago now. Sold it running. That thing was the most reliable and easy to work on truck I’ve ever had. Just wish I had gotten it before it had near rusted out. 3 on the tree with a 305. I installed a junkyard manifold for a quadrajet I had lying around and it could do burnouts no problem. Originally had a one barrel if you believe it. Dad always thought it was the motor but I knew better. Loved that truck.
Great video. I always check the description for some extra encouragement. Thank you so much for that as well!
Ordered myself a 2023 Ram Rebel. It’ll be my first Dodge. I’m excited!!
The 3 speed mr.gasket shifter is usually sold at AutoZone there is nothing wrong with the motor in that truck you have a good body right next to it there was more wrong with the fury but you fixed it.
Three speed on the column were always a pain in the butt .put a floor shift in if your going to keep it
I actually did the opposite on mine. Converted my 74 C10 back to a column shifter 2 years ago, and it's only hung up twice since then.
Excellent video Dylan :) I learned on 1968 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck my one late Farmer friend of family in 1990's Navy Blue , Navy Blue Interior , had West Coast mirrors on doors, had 292 with 1 barrel carb Carter think was 500 CFM with Hand choke cable knob in dash work too , Manual transmission of 3 in tree , updated 1978 Chevrolet 15 1/2 ton bolt 377 rear end gears posi , 4 wheel drum brakes too, 7.50/ 16's studs rims factory with chrome dog dishs, fuel tank in behind seat , Am factory GM Delco radio plus antenna one speaker in middle too, 70 amp Alternator plus Generator light work too it , Steering wheel was Chevrolet type with chrome cap for horn switch too and slide back window too ! Chrome front bumper & back to but seat sat on metal pail on driver side Lol and for Gas pedal had Farmall clutch grip on to pivot arm in shape like this backwards T because rubber broke off but mounted on with small door hindge on floor ! But was only truck seen when had clean up brakes drums had Emergency brake handle hook for front and back wheels also factory option and no power steering or brakes too! Plus rad was rare of 4 core and truck suspension was heavy duty for 3/4 or 1ton type frame and called it 5/8 ton ! But was interested truck Dylan also this to Rock Auto sell Three in Tree also lube up Iinkage maybe need heat with torch too unstuck it !
I’ve got a 69 C10 that same color! (It’s called Maroon Poly, and it’s the rarest color for 69 Chevy trucks). That two-tone isn’t original, though; they didn’t start that two-tone style until 1971 (I actually added the same two-tone to mine when I restored it). That truck looks to have similar options to mine, too: 3-speed manual, deluxe side trim, painted bumpers, heavy duty suspension (that’s why it has the 6-bolt wheels. It’ll also have rear coil springs like a newer Ram). It looks like the only major differences I can see between this one and mine is that mine has a 307 small block instead of a 6, mine has deluxe gauges, and mine has a black interior instead of the red one like this one. I’d love to know if this one has the wood bed floor, too. You’ve got a mighty rare truck there!
Hey Dylan I just wanted to wish you and your whole family Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and hopefully many more to come
I decided to come back to this channel!
Thank you, Mr. McCool, for sharing this glorious junk with us. A lot of us, that don’t have the extra time, knowledge, and money,live vicariously through you and a few others. It’s a bonus that you post scripture and are kid-friendly.
That knob on the dash to the right of the fuel gauge is your manual choke cable
I swear dylan's acting skills especially in this skit reminds me so much of Steve from blues clues🤣🤣🤣
Have you checked the linkage at the transmission? Some of the rod bushings are probably gone and causing it to bind. The clutch pressure plate or flywheel may also be broken.
Dylan I really honestly enjoy all of your videos alot and I've learned alot of things from you that I didn't know was possible to do as I am a back yard mechanic for many years and I must say you are a very good teacher and watching your videos is the most best thing ever and I will continue watching your videos
The shifter problem is likely the bushings at the tranny. Waste the entire setup with lube, and it may come back for you. At least enough to cruise the yard.
Looks like you're gonna need an alternator as well, that pulley is toast.
I had a straight 6 in my 65’ C/10 and the sound took me back to better times
This is the first time I’ve seen a CZcamsr have a insurance company advertise
Pull the Rocker cover off & see if your getting any oil. UNREAL it idles so good, KRAZY.
Merry Christmas Dylan
Dylan your a legend love your videos, I'm from the UK and just love your content. And your knowledge about cars is amazing.
👍👍
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
👍🌹
the mechanisum on the column itself where the rods hook to gets gummed up over time and needs to be lubed up so they both can slide up and down the column freely. those rods and that steering column NEVER WEAR OUT. lube it up well and then work each rod back and forth until the upper arms on the column move back and forth up and down the column. that should solve your problem unless your clutch disc is shot, but even if it is those rods and the mech. will still move as they should. dont give up on it! i drove this same same setup from 1982-1992 and gave it hell! lol,,,
Dylan, we have to talk about the definition of "like a brand new truck" ;-)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years from my family to yours @Dylan McCool
Yep. I carried a 2x4 just for the clutch pedal and went under the hood to shift it when she got bound up. Adjusting or new bushings. Nice ol 3 speed on the floor is best. Love thos trucks. Frankenstein those girls.
I love watching your videos, keep up the good work.
👍👍
my old 74 car has an inline six like that, a GM250... it sounds awesome!!!
The older chevy shift rods were bad about crossing up. We used to have to jump out and unbind them all the time. I had a 69 C10 .
I got a 74 Chevy stepside and it sometimes hangs up. Luckily, it isn't more than once or twice a year.
I had a 65 short bed with the same engine back in 1985! Blew up one morning on the way to school! Rod went through the side of the block! They don't like 100 miles per hour very long! About 30 seconds! LOL
MERRY Christmas ❄️☃️🎄to you and your Wife. God bless ya. Love ya vids
Give her life again. She wants it that’s why she doesn’t want to shut off. Keep up the good work.
That old straight six got a nice Lope to her Sounds pretty Mean and Peppy @Dylan McCool
I actually went and looked at these two trucks for parts trucks for my 68 in-line 6 and he was asking to much for that in my opinion lol. Glad to see you got them
Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends
Great video Dylan. I was thinking it was a tired motor but then it ran. Nice old trucks.
👍👍
Old school all the way, Dylan your videos are awesome, I would love to have that old 69c10 . Dylan you are a amazing guy. Keep up the amazing work you do, your channel is amazing
Great job Dylan.
Good video I like the Chevys too I like Dodge too I thank you for the video a merry Christmas and a happy New Year's to you too
Pretty cool old truck. Didn't seem like the frame was rusted real bad. She would be a driver.
👍👍
Watching your videos makes me wish my 76 f100 was up and running
That does run pretty good. I had a 69 swb stolen back in 99 and I loved that truck
👍👍
Dude this is absolutely epic that you’re doing a 69 my 69 was almost exactly like that it had manual in the floor but was converted to automatic mines a long bed as well but the only difference is that mine is an arizona truck with absolutely zero rust love the content Dylan!!!!! Much love from AZ!!!
I am SO glad you don't taste the oil off of the dip stick like some do lol.
Giver the beans!!!! cool lil truck even more bulletproof than a V8, Sounds good.
Love the videos!!
BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!!!!THANKS DYLAN FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO,LOVED IT!!!!!👍🇨🇦🇺🇸❤🙏
Hey Dylan: Just goes to show that you can't kill a Chevy... No matter how rough the rig is, if you can work it through, you will eventually start it up... From the home of PB Blaster Silicone spray... Cleveland, Ohio.....
Great job brother, this could be a great opportunity for someone to make a sweet ride 👍.
👍👍
LMC Truck has every part to restore this old reliable rig...
The floor shifters are still available pretty easily Mr gasket makes one hurst makes one. You used to be able to get one right off the shelf at AutoZone. I think summit has a universal 3sp shifter too.
One thing is good about the old GM 6 cylinders you can get the spark plugs in easily unlike the Dodge Slant 6
They are cool trucks, Im building a 63 right now!
Never a doubt…if it’s a straight 6 and it’s not locked up, it’ll run!
has a after 70s hood to, before 70 it was more sloped, gorgeous truck
Good to see you
Watching the tires they were spinning. Love the saw blades always liked those. Poor Chevy
Sounds like the Exhaust manifold is broke on how loud the Exhaust is @Dylan McCool
Awesome always 👏
Already 10 seconds in I see you're getting back to the format I liked and missed since that big truck~~
Yah, and I had flashbacks of it when he was messing with the shift linkage while it was running...
Great show Dylan''' with the Mopar or no car, I'll just settle with no car then. Lol. Great entertainment and show.
i bought my7 fathers 1984 chevy Silverado and that was in 2010 she had the 6.2 litre diesel in her 84 ,000 miles 4x4 we called her Indian Princess because of the paint only chevy i ever loved and that was his second truck his first was a dodge D150 SE and i bought her so he could buy the 84 her name was Tiger Lily because of the paint scheme both were two tone and very beautiful any way that 6cyl still has a lot of life in her pull the engine and sell the rest and another great video oh yes on the MORGAN AND MORGAN haha when i lived in florida every other commercial on the tv was morgan and morgan oh yes whats up with the 58 savoy i saw the hood up
Nice job!
You can get a floor shift kit. I have one installed in my 81 f100 custom. It's difficult to rebuild the column shift.
That 3 on the tree might just need PB blaster and some good elbow grease to get it shifting properly. They tend to cause problems after sitting for so long
The biggest problem right now is the gearshift is out of alignment.
That is why I love those straight 6 engines. They are just hard to kill. Glad to hear her run. I saw the fire truck in the background. Any more content coming on it?
I've got a 69 cst-10 short bed 350 red and white. Just rewired this summer. Had it since I was 16. 23 years now. I tell my kids that I love it more than them. Haha.
love it. you should fix up that old radio
I'm willing to say you have enough there to make that other truck run. Just put the drive train in the other and maybe whammy the corner of that hood back out and you've got a runner with a more straight body. That 250 is just about indestructible.
The other truck reminds me of a '67 Chevy my friend's dad owned back in 1989. Same color. She was a little tired but a ran great. A little dented but no rust. Only issue is it had the old GM ignition switch that didn't require a key. One morning they woke up to find it gone. It was later found in a school parking lot with the 6 cylinder missing. They sent it to the salvage. I wish I'd had the smarts to snatch that old truck up after that! Coulda put in a new ignition switch, dropped a 350 in it and had something!
There are supposed to be grommets in the linkage holes. When they wear our or missing, the shifter becomes a mystery shifter. Replace them on both ends.
Very cool 👍 yes it was fun thanks 👍 Lee
I learned to drive stick on a blue 69 C-10 optioned just like that one. Daily drove it for over a year.
That Ford hood is off a bump (67-72). If it's in good shape it's worth some good money
great stuff thanks
Another good video!!!!
You can get everything to put a floor shift into that from LMC truck. You can order it straight off their website.
