Default Steering Column

Am looking for a diagram to rebuild the steering column completely. The assembly manual, haines, and other books do not show a complete rebuild (and I mean complete!). Does anyone out there have a diagram of the complete column including the bearings, shaft, bearing housing and such for the '78 Tilt/Tele column?

I remember there being a diagram somewhere in the tech tips section. Do a search! I know that my Haynes manual doesn't have a decent diagram in it.

This is a blowup of a 1976 T&T column. It does not have a dimmer pivot or dimmer switch on the column like your 1978 column has. Also, you do not have a shift tube (#64) since you have the finger lever to allow you to remove your ignition key from the lock cylinder.

This page will help with the dimmer pivot, even though it is not a blowup.

This page will help with the finger lever and the dimmer switch..

Hope that these will help.
