Default Steering Coupler

I want to replace the steering coupler on my 81 with a whole new coupler. Can anyone tell me where to get the correct coupler from? Thanks. I want the whole piece not just the rag joint.

GM still carries the one for my '69, probably still carry yours (if different). This is one of those parts to buy from the mfg.

The part that you want is GM #7818568. Still shows up on the GMPartsDirect websight so your local dealer should be able to obtain it as well.

Went to my local Chevy dealer today and he said they are discontinued and not on the locator. Can anybody hook me up with a origanal GM steering coupler for my 70?
