steering column question
Can anybody tell me where I can get a breakdown for a 72 F-100 column?
I need to know how to remove the rag joint on the steering shaft. The problem I'm having is since I've replaced the power steering box I'm having line-up problems between the shaft & the box. I suspect the power steering was a retro fit , hence the poor line-up.
It looks as though the rag joint is part of a short shaft that is held to the steering shaft with a pair of set screws. If I can get the short shaft out then I'll be able to order a replacement shaft and u-joint from Borgeson.
Any help or advice would be apprecdiated.

Yeah, I'm trying to convert to power steering with my original column. After I bolted everything up I noticed the alignment is off approximately 1/2".
However, after doing a search on this site I found a step by step chronicle of such a conversion, complete with color photos. Superbly done I might add. Anyway, it looks like I can remove the rag joint form the steering shaft to revael the splines underneath. After that it'll just be a question of ordering the right U-joint. It should be pretty striaghtforward.
