Hello folks, I am new to this forum and looking for some advice on my F350 I recently purchased. It is a standard cab, 460, manual trans, 4x4. I have done a good amount on the interior to clean it up and make it a nice driver, such as rebuild the steering column, what a joy. I need to replace the intermediate steering shaft from the bottom of the column to the steering box. The bushing at the slip portion is completely gone. I was hoping to get a Borgeson replacement but upon further research, it doesn't appear they have one for my application. I contacted their tech department and they simply told me they don't have one for a 97. I also contacted the dealer and they told me they do have a replacement, at close to 200 bucks, they also told me the 97 intermediate shaft is a one and only for that body style. Can anyone shed any light on this? Are there any other options or manufacturer's I should look at?

I appreciate any advice on this.

Tom
