Re: anyone ever grab their shaft.....

Still ava from the dealership. I replaced mine in the 79 years back. The 73 to 77-8 crowd will have problems as they switched to a double d connector at the bottom of the steering column from the splined version used in the older trucks. Not sure but either I-DID-IT or somewho doesn't come to mind right away makes replacements that have ujoints at both ends and do away with the rag joint. While its apart you might want to check the lower column bearing just behind the metal cover held in place with a spring clip...their famous for being short a ball or two.
