Re: Making an old truck feel new
The rag joint seems to have a different slightly looser feel compared to the Universal joint steering shafts in newer vehicles.
You could look into Borgeson either a complete shaft or components... Or a Jeep steering shaft if you're on a tighter budget... YJ series I believe. Make sure to keep something similar to the collapsibility of the original... it's one of the safety enhancements on the squares compared to the 60's rigs and it actually helps in an accident.
