Default steering shaft bearing

I pulled me steering column apart and broke the little ball bearing in the steering column. Does anyone know where i can get one of these bearings? or a steering column rebuild kit?

A dealer should be able to get you the part fairly easily. The column is largely unchanged since the 60's and I wouldn't be surprised if that bearing was in every GM column made since that time.

Junkyard.

IMO - you might as well get the kit and rebuilt the other parts while you have the thing apart.
