Steering column bering

[67 GTX]

Has anyone been able to locate a steering column bearing for a 67 manual steering b-body car?

I have found out that 67 is a unique year, and the solution to this problem is to change to a 68 column, which parts are more readily available for.

But I found a bearing that may work from classic industries. Has anyone else been through this?

I know this isn't very helpful, but here it is: I dealt with this a few years back on my '67- I needed the lower bearing and the nylon support. I found a guy that was making the support and had ball bearings available, but no shells. I found one lower bearing (NOS) at a dealership in the midwest after a long, long search. The upper bearing was the same as later years, if I remember correctly. It was an available reproduction part, at least. It appears that the guy's website is gone, and last I talked to him, he wasn't going to make more...

So- to the bigger point- if it's the lower bearing, check a catalog of sealed bearings. I recently found one that was the right ID/OD for my '72 Dart (which had no lower bearing). It replaced the plastic support too. I little work got me a nicely supported steering shaft that is fully sealed.

Here is a kit, a little spendy but has upper bearing included, i believe the also sell the correct pullers:

Previous thread is high. I'm sure you can get cheaper. Thr upper bearing is still available from any dealership. Price alone is between $7-$15. Doesn't matter if manual or not. Got mine for $10 + tax at my dealership
