Correct Rag Joint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**G8rN@te61** · 12-28-2021, 01:44 PM

Bought a new steering gear and rag joint from car and truck shop. The gear was an exact replacement and bolted right up but the rag joint they supplied had a flat spot in splines of coupler and the bolts were two different sizes.

Does anyone know where to get a correct rag joint that has splines all around inside the coupler and the two attachment bolts are the same size? I have a '61.

thanks,

Nate

Is it a 3/4-30? https://www.classicparts.com/1960-69...nfo/SS%2D5151/

3/4 x 36 spline. Do you know if its splined all the way around? The picture seems to show a flat spot.

Ive looked at the various websites that supply but I cant tell on any of them and I don't want to buy it and its not right and then pay shipping to send back.

I wouldn't buy anything that I wasn't sure of so I'd call them and find out.
