steering shaft ??
Did gm use the same splines on all there columns and gear boxes. I have a 85 van column and a 68 man gear box. My shaft has only one u joint on the column side. I need one on the gear side as well. So my option is to find a u joint and cut and weld or find a shaft that will work and eliminate the rag joint. My shaft is only about 14" total. So what are your thoughts

Re: steering shaft ??
Well maybe my van column is earlier caus it has no key. I forgot what year van i pulled it out of. It has a 36 spline 3/4 shaft. I read that the manual gear box was a 3/4 x 36 as well but napa says 3/4 x 32 they also say that a 95 cherokee is 3/4 x 32 so i got a shaft coming to see if will mount up to the gear box. Im hoping to eliminate the rag joint and get rid of some of the slop these trucks have. As for the top im going to have to get creative and probably weld on the old copuler or maybe i can grind the shaft to a dd and just slip the jeep shaft on we will see
