there is no rag joint on 76 250 "highboy" with power assist steering, it is a slip shaft universal from factory, that slip shaft is obsolete/unavailable for several years, that is why I used the aftermarket

go back and READ, yes, Ford Trucks Owners CAN READ....my previous posts

I advised that a RAG JOINT IS SLANG FOR A STEERING COUPLER, and then directed the OP to a link that is TALKING ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE.

what more do you want?

Sorry for the rookie stuff. I can read and did a lot of it just didn't get it fromt hat write up. Talked about 2wd and 77+ models auto the whole time.

Thanks so much for it all though.

So with that in mind now would you say I could tighten up my steering with a new gear box? Rag Joint is out of the question
