Well unfortunately I've struck out on both counts.

I resorted to sending the old drag link to a 4x4 shop in hopes they could custom build a replacement, but no joy. I'm going to have them ship it back to me, maybe I'll try another 4x4 shop.

I haven't found a place that says they can build a Drag Link for a Class 8 truck. The OEM parts are long gone, there's no compatibility matrix that I've found.

The information I located was that the drag link p/n is 2388963, that number superseded by 2388955. The following alphanumeric code followed the part number in the parts book,#L-24-VU-405-A-11.

The truck is at a shop, the shop has exhausted all of its contacts and parts houses. I've sent inquiries to all of the northern ca salvage yards, and either got a polite no, or just no response.

I thought the upper mast jacket bearing p/n was 2455324 from http://www.gmpartswiki.com/getpage?pageid=25259

I found somebody who had it, we ordered it. It doesn't fit either.

1963-66 400-700 SERIES STEERING SHAFT UPPER BEARING 2455324 NOS $54

Any suggestions for creating a drag link and getting a one-off steering column bearing custom built?
