Source for Steering Sector Bushings - '31 8-67

I am looking for a source for steering sector bushings shown in the pic. These are for a '31 8-67 and mine are well worn, probably from a dry steering box. The Filling Station has bushings for this era GMC but there is no size given. These are for 1-3/8" shaft diameter and 1.567" OD. The rest of the box and bearings are in surprisingly good shape.

Thank You,

Believe it or not, when I was looking for king pin bushings for my 1912 Buick, I found them at my local ACE Hardware store.

They were in the nuts & bolts section.

We machine all of ours. That way we can keep the tolerance at +/- .002. Our bushings also have a double loop groove to for lubrication. If you buy a regular bushing it may lead to trouble later due to this bushing being high load.

I'm sure at this point that I will be going to the local machine shop and having these bushings made. I found material very close to the dimensions and it will just need to be trimmed on the outside. I have my doubts that they'll be able to put in a lubrication groove but I can ask.

This box was opened and it had grease around the gear and bearings but that grease was getting nowhere close to these bushings. I'm going back with a heavy oil and a new oil seal - hopefully that will do a better job of keeping these lubed.

Thanks,
