Pretty much what post 12 did on this thread. But by the way, if your not sure and wanting to do this yourself - Maybe you should get professional help on a something like steering and brakes. Your life depends on it.

The G-van tilt column ( from what I’ve read) is the same as a 72 C10.
The 72 C10 used a collapsible steering shaft.
This swap has been done many times, and there are many ways to join the steering shaft to the power steering box.

I’m hoping to complete my install within the next couple of weeks, so
I’ll try to let you know if it goes according to plan.

I used the 1977 Chevrolet c10 power steering box
The input spline count says its 26 from Masterpro

Suggestions then what intermediate shaft to use
I dont think the CPP-1DD730 will work
Thats a 3/4x30 spline unless im misunderstanding something

Need some advise on this one,


Thanks

The system and parts described by me in a previous post in this thread worked out perfectly for me.

Van column (it actually has a 30 -spline output end)
Jegs U-joint (30 spline on one end, 3/4”DD on the other end)
Squarebody intermediate shaft with the top OEM coupler cut off
Rag joint
Steering box.

You can take your shaft that’s in the original column, measure and cut it to the length, take the shaft to a mach shop and they can put the DD on it for you, I’ve done it many times......
You will need a bearing or bushing in the end of the column tube as well.....
