Hey Nate, Ricer language is not allowed on the VMF! ;>) Got an NPD catalog? Look under the steering box section. I have an older catalog here and it has Bearing assy. Steering column tube. for 67-73 PN 3517-4 Not sure if it is an upper or lower, but they have a lot of parts listed for the column. Call NPD in Charlotte at 704-331-0900 or 800-368-6451 and ask for John Brooks. tell his Scott Smith from Columbia, SC sent you to him. He's been a real good guy to deal with each and every time I call for an order. But remember, NPD sells GM parts too, so they're not going to know Mustangs like we do here!
dang obsolete parts...help me find these, please?
word up ya'll,
finally got my ride back on the wheels again. still needs lots of tlc but we are no longer riding cinder blocks...woo hoo!!
i have discovered several obsolete parts on my ride. ('69 stang coupe)...i need to get ahold of the gasket/molded boot that seals the bottom of the steering column to the inside firewall. this part is rubber and molded so it doesn't look like i could fabricate one. ALSO...i need the bearing or whatever it is the fits in the end of the steering column. the only piece i have of it is a thin plastic ring that fits inside the inner tube of the column. i can't find any part numbers in my shop manuals or any of the mail order catalogs that i use. i don't even know what this thing really looks like, as i only have half of it!! anybody with a 69 fixed column out there have any idea what i am talking about and where i might find these little jokers?
for now i am just putting it all back together and if i don't find one of these things soon, i'll just check out parts swaps and look for it there.
pertinent info: 1969 Mustang coupe, 302 V8, C4 auto, fixed column, power steering
ASIDE: i thought about getting a bushing cut out of aluminum or bronze instead of that lover column bushing/bearing...any thoughts here?...OD 1 5/8"...ID 1"...thickness of say about 1/2 to 3/4"...
thanks ya'll.
