Looking for good 1965 Plymouth wagon rear bumper. Tail light housings and lens. Also, need a manual 3 on the tree shifter handle. If you have any other wagon pieces in good shape let me know. Thanks a lot.

Could I suggest you buy a complete 3 speed manual column? I'll sell you this one for $30 plus shipping. It came out of a 65 Satellite a good 25 years ago. (Yes a Satellite was available with a 3 speed on the column. I couldn't believe it at the time) The shift collars get brittle and often crack, break or are pretty worn out. They're also pretty hard to find.
This one has the turn signal switch in it yet, with complete plug and wires. (no turn signal arm) The shift arm has been painted black. It does not appear to have been chromed. The plastic knob is still intact and firmly attached to the arm.
Also has the two shifting rods, the rubber seal at the end and (not shown) the inner/outer steering shaft snap rings that secure the housing in place on the steering shaft. Two more photos to follow.

The shifting tube still moves inside the column.
I bought the car from a very old guy who'd owned it since new. He got t-boned on the passenger side at a country intersection, having gone through a stop sign. The state pulled his license after that. I bought the car and drove it home. The poor guy cried when I drove out of his place. It was hit too hard and too rusty to try and save. I felt so bad for the guy. Still remember his name: Luverne Iverson. He died in his house when it burned down about a year later. There was some speculation that he'd started the fire intentionally. Thought was he was still so depressed about losing his mobility.
I'd remove the shift arm and the shift rods for more compact shipping. Anyway, your call. Please let me know either way.

Great story. I remember buying cars from folks like that. Lady cried when I drove her Mom's 65 Coroner convertible off the farm once. I took it back a year or so later after I got it restored and gave her a ride. She freaked out and was so happy to see it looking like new. Just can't forget the look on her face when she came out the front door and saw it. It was awesome! Never forget those precious moments and making people happy is what life's all about.
