Steering Rag-Joint Help
I have a 1969 F100, and the ragjoint it torn. I need to replace it.
I need to know a few things:
1) Will a 73-79 ragjoint work
2) Is it something I can do myself? How hard is it?
3) What do I need to do it?

It's pretty straightforward. Just undo the bolts on the rag joint and on the column collar. Then, from inside the truck, pull your steering wheel back enough to get the rag joint out. Clean it all, apply a little grease and put it back together. On mine I had to also remove the brake line bracket to avoid lacerating my hands even more than usual.

The rag joint on my old 71 custom looks pretty good...however, I was pretty proud of the truck, since I had spend a few hundred buck on its appearance, so I drove it to Church one Sunday.....Parallel parked in front of the church...Could not manipulate it out of the parking space until the other cars moved....So embarassed that I certainly would not drive it back to church....and don't even get it out of the garage to often...other than the rag joint, and adding power steering...How can I help the steering on this old truck...anyone know anything.....it has new tires, etc......!
