I ran into the same problem when restoring the column in my 65 k10. I actually fashioned a bushing out of one of the parts that came when i ordered the lower bearing. this new bushing fit into the bottom of the lower collar centering the shaft. I am going for a 100% factory restoration; this however was unacceptable. the new bushing is awesome.
