Perfect timing, as my son and I are going to tackle the rag joint this week if it doesn't rain. As near as I can figure and what I have read it is pretty simple. You need to drop the steering column inside the cab, I think that is just a few bolts on the firewall and under the dash. Once you have done that, you need to unscrew the pinch bolt on the rag joint and take off the two nuts off the rag joint. Pay attention as they are two different size nuts. Then slide the steering column up and out of the way. Once you have done that, it should slide off. More than likely you might need to persuade it a bit, but from what I have read it is not too bad. Make sure you take note of how it sat as you will need to line up the flat spot on the steering box to the rag joint pinch bolt so you can put it back on right. Steering box might be a bit more as you have to disconnect lines and remove the bolts from the frame, which could be a bit tough as they are probably on there pretty good. if you go to YOUTUBE, there is a video put out by Brothers Trucks I think that was pretty good on showing you how to get the rag joint out. I am sure the pro's here will chime in, but from what I can see, it looks to be a pretty simple removal. I give it a two beer job. LOL. Good luck. If you can, take some pics, I will try and do the same.
