Re: Steering coupler or Rag joint

Don't mean to open a dead post, but i am very interested in doing this with my truck. Just wondering if it would work for a 1968 4 speed column. I was thinking of using this but not sure if this is the same as what everybody else used.

It's not a dead post if it helps someone. The info is here just for others that come along after so no need to apologize. It's still a good option that helps tighten up the steering 'play' between the column & the gear-box.

I'm not sure on the compatibility between the ends for a '68 4spd standard column though. That will take some researching to accurately know unless someone chimes in that has done a similar truck set-up.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Don't quote me but I think it works on 73 and up, but not 67-72.
Those old Jeeps are always in the pick a part around here--I wouldn't buy a new one.
