steering column
My shift collar is broken. I just disassembled it and the upper bearing is gone so I'm sure the lower bearing is gone. Looks like I will have to replace both bearings & the shift collar. This is on a automatic tranny, power steering column.
NumberDummy, are there any NOS bearings & shift collars available?
If no NOS who out there has a good experience with repop parts?
I don't want tilt but would there be any advantages to using a Dentside non-tilt column? Is it a better design, more durable, etc?

I don't really like the looks of the dent coulumn so I think I'll just tackle fixing mine. I just wondered if there was some huge advantage but I just don't see it.
I just would like a Ford collar and bearing if I can find NOS. I use this truck daily so I want whatever parts I use to last as long as the originals did.

Anthony, Where have you looked? I live close by and picked up one from Rick at Carolina Classics last year. I would imagine that they are available many places. Over the years I have replaced a couple.
Other than length below the firewall (power steering) & dash cuff, I am not aware of column differences.

I didn't realilze that the bump and dent collar was the same up to 1977. I found the part number CODZ-7228-B and later D5TZ7228B. I found a few Ford ones online last night. My local parts store may have the I just wasn't sure about the quality. The NOS items are around $70. Donald Carpenter has new repop ones for $80, I wonder if they are any stronger with a new mix of metals.
I know realize after looking at the assembly diagram the last picture I posted is the bearing retainer. After looking at the bearing it looks good. Is there any hidden things that could make the bearing bad?
I don't always take the easy way out but maybe I can just replace the shift collar and shift isolator and be on my way.

I called them today but they are on vacation. They will be back Monday so I'll place an order.
My upper bearing column bearing looks very good. If I just reuse it should it have some lube? It seems dry. They are not sealed for sure. That may be an indication that I need to replace it and the lower. I just don't know.

I got the parts ordered from Carolina Classics. They were on vacation last week so this morning he said he already had 9 orders for shift collars. His version come with the gear indicator & a new roll pin.
Rick is a super nice guy. John he said next time you come in you prices are doubled.
