I reused the original bearings, but obviously greased them generously. I replaced the pointer, indicator dial, nss, firewall grommet, dash grommet, lower bearing retainer and shift arm for a total of $125 or so. I’ll take a couple pictures tonight of the finished column.
👍🏾 Thanks for the info! I found the service manual and it does seem relatively straight forward. Looking forward to seeing how yours turned out!
