Shouldn't be to hard to find. Didn't Studebaker use the same one for years, just some have bushings and others bearings? Either will interchange as far as I know. Try any of the vendors, they should have rebuild kits for yours.sigpic1966 Daytona (The First One)

The reason for a new used one is to have it shortened. I'm in FL, and I want to have it done and ready to install when I get back to NY...Comment

Check with Steven Allens Studebaker, he has a Stude salvage yard besides a huge warehouse of parts. Luck DoofusComment

I have an extra one in my "spare parts" stuff, if you don't find one pm me.Comment

While steering arms may be the same, aren't there two bell cranks? One for manual/Saginaw PS and one for the later Bendix linkage assist PS?

Yes, the Bendix one has an extra arm. The rest of the arm is the same. -JimComment

Jack, There 3 different types. The 2 Torrington bearing ones. The later Avanti's with bronze bushings and the ones I build that are all needle bearings.Comment

The arraingments to purchase the Steering Arm only, for the bell crank, fell through. So I'm looking again for a steering arm to fit a 56 Hawk...

bell crank and center pin must not be confused. cheers jimmijimsigpicAnything worth doing deserves your best shot. Do it right the first time. When you're done you will know it. { I'm just the guy who thinks he knows everything, my buddy is the guy who knows everything.} cheers jimmijim*****SDC***** memberComment

This is a bell crank (bell cranks are used to change direction of motion). Not sure of your objective, but I don't think you want to shorten the bell crank or the pitman arm.
