What year is your truck? Is the column a tilt or non=tilt one?
Looking in my Ranger factory service manual (1991), it looks like the steering column needs to be removed and disassembled to replace the shifter. Depending on the year of your truck, the procedure may or not be the same.
Perhaps a simpler way to solve the problem is to go to a salvage yard and get a replacement column and put that in. I had replaced my column (a fixed one to a tilt one) for about $50.
Good luck on solving your problem.
