72 F250 C6 How to Put into Park
Excuse my dumb question but i need to put my C6 in park. I removed the shift linkage and then removed the steering wheel but when i did this i moved it out of park and i don't know how to place it into back into park. The truck was on an incline and started to roll back but luckily i had my cel and called a buddy while I held it in place til we could brick the tires. I am trying to figure out how to get the trans lever back into park so i can install my Lokar shifter.

I believe, if the trans linkage is below the pan that the lever should be moved forward to engage the parking pawl.

Thanks BobbyFord.. it is below the pan I am going to assume forward means downward.. when i move the lever it goes from a top to bottom movement with the angled lever pointing foward towards the engine when it moves downward and pointing staight up or backwards towards the bed when I move it upward.BobbyFord wrote:I believe, if the trans linkage is below the pan that the lever should be moved forward to engage the parking pawl.
