69 column w/o tilt parts help needed
Once again what I thought would be simple is made difficult by parts searching. I am at my wit's end! Need to find a vendor or sells OEM or OER.
Restoring a 69 C10 (K10) non tilt, floor shift only column and have been stuck for a week trying to locate 3 little parts without luck. Not broken or wore out by any means but since I have it blown completely apart for paint, I thought I would replace everything consumable. Can reuse if no vendor found. Parts needed: Upper column bearing holder (manual just calls it a washer) and rubber washer that attaches to it. Lower column white plastic bushing. Any help would be appreciated. |

Re: 69 column w/o tilt parts help needed
Here's the lower one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/12526640170...Bk9SR66FyqHVYQ The other two parts are unique to the floor shift column. Might be difficult to find. I can't find them in the parts catalog. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=827926 Seeing as how the housing that sits between these bushing never rotates, I wouldn't expect them to ever wear out. |

Re: 69 column w/o tilt parts help needed
In your 1st picture you are calling the white bushing a lower column bushing when fact it is the lower bushing that is in the top of the column that should have a metal washer underneath it, the part you have high lighted in yellow in the 1st picture is the top of the column, hope this helps

Re: 69 column w/o tilt parts help needed
Good eye, you are correct.
I should have worded it better. Unfortunately, they are above and below each other in close proximity and have the same names per the manual (washer/bushing) so I described them as upper and lower to try and get my point to register. I guess just showing the picture may have done the trick for most. Thanks for the response as I would not want others being confused when doing any parts search. |

Re: 69 column w/o tilt parts help needed
FYI on the lower bearing and ring for the 69 column w/o tilt.
I have rebuilt several tilt columns and a few w/o tilt and never had to replace the "ring" or what some people call the lower bearing housing/assembly. I just happened to order a lower bearing from Classic Parts that came as a set (bearing, ring and spring) for the same price as I could get the bearing alone so I bought it. Upon receipt, I noticed the ring was about a 1/4 " shorter than the original and that the bearing would not fit inside. However, the bearing would fit inside my original ring and both bearings looked identical. Looking at the new ring, the opening tapers in at about 30 degrees whereas the original just drops straight down. Also, the spring is much different than the original. I contacted Classic Parts and they said they have sold over 100 with no complaints and that other vendors were selling the same kit. Anyone else notice this???? Something aint right! Luckily all I need is the bearing and the ring with make a great paper weight in the shop. Should have just bought the bearing and I wouldn't be here clicking away. : ) |

Lived and learned. Will definitely check your inventory before I order future parts. Your NOS selection is remarkable.
