The part number is 26039394, it looks like you can still get it but at that price I would go to a junk yard.

Wtf just for that little aluminum piece!? I was probably going to look for a column is there any thing special I should know about changing it?

I saw one place that wanted over $1000 for it.

But as far as I know disconnecting the Airbag first and not supporting the whole column via the lower mounting bolts are the only biggies.
