Where can I buy an ignition actuator rod?
 
This is for a 77 Chevy 1/2 4X4, I had catastrophic failure when my ignition rack and pinion failed as well as the actuator rod broke where it goes into the ignition switch. The rack and pinion and switch are readily available but the actuator rod is another story. The only place I've found one is [URL="http://www.steeringcolumnservices.com/gm-buick-cadillac-chevrolet-oldsmobile-pontiac/rack-kit-rgkit03-1969-1974-with-7-tooth-design.php"]
If anyone knows of another source please let me know.

If the junkyard idea fails, This guy may be able to sell you a used one. I have done business with him before and he is a nice guy.

If you can't find one P.M. me and I can probably locate a used one the next time I am at the pick and pull - I should be going there in the next few days.

Thanks for the offer, but I think bikeman has one.

Bikeman59: Check your messages, I just got a notice that you've exceeded your storage limit and my last PM didn't go through.

akram - yep, it was full. It's now empty. The actuator rod is on it's way via UPS.
