My blinker arm bolt stripped out, the plastics were broken on the inside, and the column bearing is worn slap out.

Wondering if any of ya'll have swapped out your steering column for a new one, replacement from an online source?
1965 F-85 Deluxe non tilt

 

They’re not hard to rebuild actually, and the plastic blinker cam is available too.
What steering wheel do you have?

 

 

I would just replace the turn signal switch and bearing.

 

I installed an Ididit in the Vette. Bolted right in. Electrical connection mated nicely. High quality.
We needed a tilt wheel. 68 C3 tilt was even rarer than 68 442 tilt. It was not an option.
Ididit and Flaming River are the top two if you go that route.

 

thanks man, very helpful
