They are C3DZ 3517-A (bearing)and B1AZ 3518-A(bushing). Top and bottom are the same. Check with your local dealer and see if they have them. I haven't looked in a while to see if they're still available or have gone obsolete.

Hey Barry what's the difference between Steering column bushing and the coupler? I see a display for the upper column bearing & also a column sleeve are these the same as refering to bushing?

Better check/verify first. I just disassembled a '73 steering column and my '66 column for a PS setup. They both have the identical plastic cone shaped bushing that rides on the steering shaft at the bottom, but the top bushing is not plastic, it is a metal cone. The bearings I did not remove/replace and just repacked them with my fingers. Note that at the bottom of the shaft where the stop is secured to the shaft there is a felt like seal that many columns are now missing (my '66 was torn but luckily my '73 was in good shape). I believe bushing and sleeve are the same thing. The bearing is a metal bearing assembly that is NOT the same thing as sleeve/bushing.
