3rd gear dying

I have a 1973 chevy c20 3/4 ton and have a fairly new 350 block I bought it at a used car dealership and it's a 3 speed so low 1st 2nd and 3rd it's ok but when I put it in 3rd and try to give it power and push the pedal to the floor for fast acceleration not all the time just everyone now and then but it begins to hault and almost die like it looses power all of a sudden but if I do it slowly it speeds up normal what do I need to look at?

Ignition switch actuator sector

I came across the sector with the teeth broken in my steering column, and I want to replace it. I don't want to use a screw driver or pliers to start it. Where can I get the replacement parts for it?

73 wont go into gear

I bought a 73 c20 chevy . the truck has a 500 catty motor in it but I think its a 350 tranny. The fly wheel is bolted up and the tranny shifts but won't go into any gear. I checked the fluids their good. Still nothing. I adjusted the linkage still nothing. Its shifting but feels strange on the colum like its not right. Any advice?

This truck was driven from Cle Elum WA to Seattle 27 years ago and parked. The brakes were frozen when Cheech found it for me. The owner got sick shortly after he drove it home. All Day Towing, Mo, trailered it to my shop in Lynnwood for free because he loved the truck. I redid the brakes and got it rolling on three of four of the tube tires. One blew up when I tried to put air in it. That was exciting. It sounded just like in the movies. I cleaned the glass fuel filter, oiled the cylinders, replaced the points and condenser, and it fired right up. I greased the chassis checked the other fluids, and took her around the block. Fun.Jun 08, 2013

Love the simple yet timeless styling of this Chevrolet truck... The 283 V8 was a very reliable motor although notorious I'm told for cam failure. I have replaced the cam with an updated version of the original. This truck has never been tampered with and except for the wheels remains all original. It was the last year for the optional wood bed which I will replace. I plan to make it a daily driver for the non-winter months only... Can't wait to get "Ol' Blue" on the road again!Feb 20, 2011

Definitely tons of get-up-and-MOVE with a 402 and 4 on the floor. Capable of spinning tires through 3rd gear. The entire vehicle is very solidly built, it has had no problems except the starter motor and recently the steering box and horn, with close to 200,000 miles of towing a heavy trailer and hauling tons of wood. It does use quite a bit of gas, 10/12 when it's not hauling anything, and it's been as low as 5 or 6 mpg when moving heavy loads. It is a pretty fun to drive, but can be scary if the steering gear is loose. The engine is very responsive and the drive train is very smooth except when it is near a stall. The cab also allows excellent visibility all around the truck, and the large towing mirrors come in very handy in almost any situation.Jun 20, 2009
