manual steering box to power..column coupling change?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just got around to installing the power steering box on my '72 pickup. It had a manual steering box. I purchased the power box though this site. It appears the box spline shaft that goes in the coupling for the steering column is just slightly larger in this powersteering box and now I can't get the column back together. It appears I need a larger splined coupling (the coupling is the clamp type piece with the rubber isolater). DOES ANYONE HAVE A NEW COUPLING THEY CAN SPARE? It should be off a power steering box I'm assuming. Many thanks, Kurt in IL
