Boca has all three ceramic bearings but can only find the DS in a steel bearing. The NDS feel good but I like to change all three while at it. Thanks

Older? How much older? You mention 3 bearings, so I'll guess it's a cartridge BB of the pre ultra torque vintage (1999-2005?). If so the steel bearings are standard bearings that are commercially available. Pull off the key dimensions, then go to a bearing supplier.

Sorry to not be clear, pre-1999 is what I need, and was hoping to order on line as the nearest bearing house is a trip from here.

There are plenty of online commercial bearing houses. Once you know the bearing you need, search "ball bearings" and work your way through the possibilities, balancing, price, minimum order, and shipping charges for the best overall deal.

I know Campy used square taper cartridge bottom brackets through at least 2006 since I have a Chorus version in one bike. How soon they went to Ultra Torque after that I don't know.
