I'm not sure they're still in production, but I believe the part # is 7817473. Good luck.

I don't know if you are going 100% original or not but I remember seeing the rag joint repair kit in the "HELP" section at my local Auto Zone for about $6.00, thats six dollars.
My 2 cents,

The rag joint repair kits don't even come close to original quality, and can be dangerous; I'd buy the correct GM part. Steering is no place to save money.

I bought a new one for my 68 over the counter at the Chevy dealer. He just looked it up in the parts book and went to the back and pulled it off the shelf. I had some bolts stored in the old box, but I threw it out about a week ago, so I dont have the part number any more. Call the dealer, he might still show it in the catalog, mine did. http://community.webshots.com/user/wsm9808

Part number for 67 to 69 with Power Steering is (was in 69) 7806390. Section 6.525 - called a coupling unit. Without Power Steering is 7806391. Tilt or non tilt column doesn't matter.

Is that a GM part number ??? I tried to find it on GM partsdirect.com, but the search didnt find anything. I tried rag joint and coupling joint too.... maybe they dont carry it...

the 7806390 and 91 are GM part numbers out of an October of 69 GM Parts manual. May have been changed, superceded, or deleted by now.
