Hello, I have a steering colum out of a 79 f250 2wd. I am wanting to use it in a another project that I am working on because I already have it and it has a colum shift. Anyway, there is a plastic bushing on the bottom of the colum and it is worn out and allowing slop in the shaft. Is there a replacement bearing or another plastic bushing I can buy?
Thanks, Steven

 

If they are still available from Ford. I'm unsure of the part number, but Numberdummy may know it. Being that it is from a 2 wheel drive, you will have to disassemble the colum to take the shaft out to replace it tho.

 

Need more info.

With or without tilt wheel?

With or without power steering?

 

Thanks for the replys, it is a non tilt and yes it did have power steering. I am wanting to put it in my 62 unibody that I installed a fatman mustang/pinto crossmember in. I think I can get the shaft components to bolt up. It is a nice clean colum that does not have the key with a colum shifter.

 

1978/79 2WD steering columns are not the same as 1973/77, 1968/72, or 1965/67.

I suggest you get a hold of Garbz2, who posts in the 1961/66 forum. He may be able to help you, because...

From what I've read here, these late 1970's columns have to be cut down in order to fit in 1961/64's.
