How hard to rebuild? Any tips. Are parts available?

I know the lower bearing is impossible to find. I didn't need any other parts. The one I did is a tilt, it's a little scary taking off the upper tilt cover, patience.

Thanks dale68z.
That's the part I need!!
Any company's that do this?

I have broken down 2 columns completely to make one. It would take to long to explain why. I do have a spare shaft with a lower bearing that you could have. The shaft would do you no good cause I just noticed you have a tilt column but I think the lower bearing is the same. P/M me with your info if you want it and I will let you know how much to ship it. I will take a picture of the shaft and E-mail it to you to make sure I am not wasting anyones time.

Joe you have mail

If you need a new lower bearing for a 67, you can get it from a place called Columns Galore 1-888-326-5866. He rebuilds a similar bearing to fit. His name is Rick

I had no problem ordering a new lower bearing for my 69 Camaro Column!

Brian, are you sure the lower bearing is the same between a tilt and non-tilt column?

The lower bearing for a 67 is different then the 69 and impossible to find.

I believe I modified the bushing from a newer GM, something like an 80"s caprice, to fit the 68 column.
