e-bay is your friend. Seems that one shows up about once a month. That is where I got mine:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2484192403

unfortunately all but one picture remains to be viewed.

I am really happy with it. It came out of California and there is no rust on it. It looks like it has been reconditioned. No slop in the shafts, springs are good, fresh grease in the bearings and spring mechanisim and c-l-e-a-n. Only problem was, that even though the seller packaged it very well (no complaints), FedEx lightly dented the signal section and broke the flasher stub off. Sigh. I have been able to get the dents out and the tin back to being 99% round again.

Since I have a black instrument panel (new) lying around and a factory black steering wheel (near mint) lying around, I am going to leave it all black.

I'll see if I can't get a picture posted in about 10 days of the final install if anyone is interested.
