Steering shaft...

Well, I got the ol' girl runnin with nothing more than a swapping of the wire on the solenoid that the PO had put on backwards. Nothing like $600 for a truck that purrs like a kitten. I also found out it has a 650 double pumper and eldelbrock performer manifold. So after getting good and excited, I see that the brakes go to the floor, and the steering shaft has quite a bit of play. The rag joint is shot, and has damaged both the coupler on the end of the column shaft, and the input shaft on the power steering box.

So basicly, anyone know where I can find these parts? I would need the rag joint at least, and more than likely both the shaft ends too.

most auto parts houses have the rag joint. but it sounds like a boneyard trip for you to find the other steering parts.

If it's a 2wd, the column end is welded to the shaft, so if it's really bad, you will have to replace the column.
