Re: Steering Shaft

I used combo of 74 truck and astro van parts to get a slip shaft because I know how much the frame will flex off road. with only two joints you do not need any intermediate support. Both steering box and my GM column had 3/4 splines, intermediate at DD configuration pinned and spot welded. Slip has about 1.5-2" travel.
