67 steering column

[Bryan L.]

I was in the process of repainting my steering column and decided to replace the upper and lower bearings. The car has been sitting for some time and the bearings just don't feel right, kind of rough and gritty. It seems pretty straight forward. Are all of the parts still available from GM, specifically the upper and lower bearing and the directional signal switch? It is the second design column.

TIA

The 67-68 steering column bearings, GM #7800407 and 7801324, are long-since GM-discontinued. They are available, though, from Dr. Rebuild and possibly others.

The 67-68 directional signal/hazard warning switch is still available from GM under GM #5698520. It currently GM lists for $72.90, but you should be able to find a better price than that.

Thanks Joe:

I was hoping I could go down and order them from my friend at the Chevy dealer this morning. I know that LI has them, but just don't want to wait 7-8 days. I'm getting antsy to get this car on the road and get some left seat time.

Thanks for your assistance.
