78 lower steering shaft ujoint

Does anyone have a part number for a replacement ujoint ford or aftermarket. Cant seem to find a 3/4 32 spline to 3/4 smooth bore. Dont wanna buy the borgeson replacement shaft as it is a custom application and i would hate to cut up a $300+ steering shaft.

There are several different types of the one piece lower steering shaft & coupler assy's.

Is your 1978 a: F150 4WD or F150 Super Cab 4WD or F250 4WD?

This is a one piece assembly, Ford did not furnish any individual parts for it.

Last MSRP: $509.32 ~ Dealer net cost: $305.59 // Applications: 1978/79 F250 4WD & 1979 F350 4WD

FORD PARTS ONLY in Bayamon Puerto Rico has 1 = 787-786-9180 / No one else has any.

Most people replace the original with a Borgeson shaft.

Get the Borgeson shaft and measure it x3 and cut once. It is well worth the $ and can be bought for under $300. Or have you checked Flaming River for that u joint?
