71 chevy custom intermediate steering shaft - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for images from any one who has done a 3 piece intermediate steering shaft with a heim bearing support. I have installed a total cost involved front suspension with rack and pinion steering so my I shaft has to go to the inside of the frame. The angle is too great for a single shaft and the frame is in the way. I have seen people do a 3 piece shaft but can not find any information or even images online. Any help and also images would be greatly appreciated.

This is what I type in to google.
'installing steering dd in hot rods'

Yes like that, but on a c10 would be great because the steering column comes thru the firewall on the outboard side of the frame. So it would be interesting to see itdone on a c10.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
