Yep, it works well and the peace of mind is worth the effort.
I've never seen a rag joint rip during normal driving but I have sen quite a few ripped at demo derbies. I kow that not a real fair comparison but still...
Two big problems I see with the 67-72 trucks is the spline count/size on the sector and the bottom end of the steering column itself.
The splines on the sector changed somewhere through the years and I think the column is round and splined on the 67-72 trucks? It's been along time since I've had any of them apart.
The newer columns are a "double D" type with a through bolt, (once again if I remember correctly), and the Astro column is a "double D" with a clamp bolt that fits in a groove in one of the round sides of the double D.
Other than that all you should have to do is lengthen the shaft.
