How To Replace your Lower Column Bearing: Better and Cheaper!!!

Do 1961 model A Bodies have a lower column bearing?
thanks

Not sure, but it's not really a matter of whether they had them or not. Most of the later A-bodies didn't really have them, most just had a nylon sleeve, some of them had tiny little roller bearings. But it's more a matter of whether or not you want to add one and what size will fit.

What size bearing would be needed for a 65 barracuda. Part number if you have one. My column is out and a perfect time to take care of this

You'd have to measure the steering column jacket. The steering shaft should be the same size but I don't know about the outer jacket. As 65Val and 67dartgtgo noted on the last page and above the 67 column he had was different, with a 2.25" diameter instead of 2" like the later cars. They both used the ER16 but with a spacer/sleeve to reduce the diameter. I'm not sure if the '65 is the same and would require the extra sleeve or not.
