What am i doing wrong?

I am in the middle of my first body swap and just set the 72 2wd cab on my 72 4wd 3/4ton frame. i was hooking up the steering shaft to my power steering box and noticed that my steering wheel had come out of the column about an inch. are the steering shafts different between the 4wd and 2wd? or have i just made a mistake installing it?

I hate it when that happens, I'll look the other way too.

Re: What am i doing wrong?

Ok,I`m not looking.But,could you tell me what you were thinking?

And,could you talk more about your project?I think we`d all still like our chance to tell you you`re doing something wrong.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.

Beyond that I'd like to make sure that in the future, I don't make the same mistake....and I like to make mistakes. Hell it took me 2 days working 12 hours a day to pull the motor, reseal a junkyard motor, and replace it all in my 88 mustang.
