steering shaft seal

Has anyone had any luck finding the seal for the steering shaft? GM refers to it as a pot joint seal. hmmmm. Seal is located opposite end of the rag joint, kind of under the brake booster.

Other forums suggest using one for a jeep wrangler. I bought one from summit and the diameter is too small. The shaft part would have worked fine. Kinda sucks, Price was great also. It does however fit a firebird. It looks like the pot joint itself is bigger in diameter than the '72 back cars. e-bay as well as opg do have some listed but they all say fit 64-77. Typical one size fits all for these cars. I've sent e-mails asking about fitment on our cars but no response. I did get a look at a 78 k-10 and the seal appears identical. I checked LMC truck, No luck. The link I have for summit is the one I bought.
