I'm a little confused here.

In the thread you posted under "Drivetrain", you wanted to know which automatic transmission would have come in what I assume is your truck.

SO, do you have an automatic or manual transmission?

I have more than one truck i'm working on.

These guys used to offer a rebuild service for columns:

I don't know whether or not they still offer that service, but I'm sure they would be able to supply the parts.

If it's the bushings and insulators in the bottom end that you need (as shown in the tutorial link above), there's a factory repair kit available, which includes the two bushings and two insulators by the lower shift levers.

The 'Repair Kit, Transmission Gear Shift Selector Arm Bushing and Insulator' C5TZ-7343-A is available from these sources:

Everything is available except that plastic sleeve on the end of the shift tube, right?

That's the only piece I haven't been able to find. It might be included on a replacement shifter tube...but I'm not sure.
