The coupling kit is still available through Dodge dealers.  You can reuse your body, as stated, to rebuild it.  Just give them this part number.  It is around $12.  The gasket is orange though.

Thanks for the good tips on buying the column parts at the dealer I bought mine today.  do you have any good tips on disassembly and reassembly? I have not started mine yet.

I have seen re-pop coupler bodies... A bit pricey and unless severely worn I'd clean and use your original...

The coupler is pretty simply.  I just greased it up pretty good.  I would say be careful crimping the top retainer on, they don't really like to stay put.  If you mean for the rest of the column, I would say take pics, bag the screws that are grouped together and tag them as such.  I did not take my own advice, then it was a couple weeks before reassembly.  Luckily, I had my orig. column shift to refer back to, while assembling the restored floor shift.  Then, I had a squeak.  So, after chasing that and taking it apart 2 more times, I think it is really not that bad.  I assume from your avatar, you are doing a 70 also.  I was told not to take apart the collapsible tube, as I was told it would be difficult to get back together correct.  I just kept the sandblaster away from the plastic tabs that hold the the tubes together.  Also, if you are replacing the key assembly, take note that there are 2 types.  If you have issues just let me know or make a post.  I can take pics of my old column.
