1985 Ford F100

I have 3 speed colum alot of loose play in colum when shifting. Do they make aftermarket parts for this.

If it is just the shifter that is sloppy, check the roll pins and the wholes for the roll pins. My 4 on the floor is sloppy because the rool pin wholes in the shifter are stretched, but I havn't worked with column shifters but I asume that they use roll pins like the floor shifters do.
If it does use roll pins, and the wholes are streched then you could either drill it out to a bigger size, or find a junkyard with a good shifter.

The shift tube in the column is probably worn. They are not dificult to replace if Ford still makes them.

I have had that problem from time to time...just snugged up the bolts (there are adjustments viewable from underside). Alignment was in my Chilton's truck book...used a drill bit, forget what size. Library may have a book if you do not...
