What intermidiate shaft do I need for the van tilt conversion on a 67' ? It has a small spline type end to the van tilt .

I bought a "van tilt" at a swap meet and it just bolted right up to my existing shaft. Hope this helps. I did have to compress it a little. But it just went right in after that.

you'll need to locate a 69 - 72 truck in a junk yard and when you pop the hood you'll see it. It bolts to the column, and then to the steering gear box. 67 and some 68's don't have this.

I read through the FAQ section and wasn't able to find the info I needed . I did the inside part of the conversion to a 68' and had to sell it before I finished it . The van has 36 spline . and my original 68' shaft I believe had a D style . So 69-72 intermediate shaft is what I need ? I bought one at the swap meet this week end and it had a splined end , but was the incorrect shaft diameter . I'm Just looking for a little extra info , not a collection of incorrect shafts .
