1985 - upper steering shaft?

Does anyone have a picture of the upper steering shaft for a 1985 Ford F250 6.9?

I'm trying to understand if there are any linkages in that shaft that can break and I can't find a good diagram or picture.

Mine has broken somewhere between the firewall and the steering wheel and I'm trying to understand that part/linkage.

Thanks

I did a Google search for 85 f250 steering...
https://www.bluespringsfordparts.com...lumn-and-wheel

Here is the search I did, many pictures to look at and sites.

There is the Rag Joint and also I think a bolt that hold the 2 halves together.

Thanks saw those.

Actually discovered the problem elsewhere once daylight made things a little more clear.

Really appreciate the reply.
