Urgent help required - Tilt wheel bearings

hey guys


so im pretty desperate to cure this problem, let me explain


im in the uk and have a guy in dallas that bought a truck on my behalf, its a great truck but the tilt steering bearing needs replacing, he has a guy doing it for me before its shipped here to the uk but this guy cant find the bearing/bearings

its 74 gmc 1500 I guess same as C10 chevy

can anyone help/? a link to where I can buy these bearings and ship them to him or a place he can buy them from etc

so im told he can get later ones which I assume are different but hasn't found any for mine


please help many thanks

Re: Urgent help required - Tilt wheel bearings

Thanks yep we have google but without knowing any details about what I'm looking for its a bit of a minefield

Reading thru various threads I believe they are different for 73-78 models, the guy can get the later ones no problem but not the earlier ones, Im not familiar with part shops out there and hoped someone might of done this to theirs recently

The guy should be able to take the bearings to any good bearing shop and find a match.
