Here are some photos of what I did before I welded it all in place. The last photo is the part# of the u-joint I used.
I did something similar.
I upgraded to a new steering box and installed with a new rag joint.
I have to recheck but i think i cut and attached the new shaft.
What makes this collapsible?
Is it the u joint? I didnt do that
