Having difficulty finding steering column bolt, 77 vette.help please?
Hi all. I am at the point where we are trying to put the steering column in the car. I cannot find, from what I assume, is a squared off bolt that goes from engine bay, through firewall to secure the steering column. Can anyone direct me as to where I could find this bolt, or it's dimensions? Thank you all so much!
The bolt in the bottom left, #6. Ive searched part number, just cannot find it

Do you have piece number 5, with the stud still in it?
If you need it right now, take it to Home Depot and find a carriage bolt of the same thread and same length as that stud, and that fits the square.
If you can wait, I bet the vendors sell it, even if you have to get it from Paragon.

The below eBay link states PN 3949076 for a 69-70 car. However, this part number is GR 4.070 PN 3949076 that is for a 77 - 82 car.
GR 4.070 (in Group 6 of GM manual page N-6)
Bracket-Cable-Clip-Retainer, Transmission Control Lock
77-82 / 3949076 / Bracket, STRG COL LWR MT
https://www.ebay.com/itm/233199042250
The eBay picture shows a standard carriage bolt, the GM manual doesn't list this bolt as a separate item that I can find. As already pointed out a trip to Home Depot should fix this or $35 on eBay.
