Are there any up grades to steering shafts? If so where can I buy one.

Borgeson makes one. I have seen it in the LMC catalog and with the street rod vendors. You could also make on up like the street rodguys do. You might do a net search for Speedway Motors, Yogi's, Borgeson,or Flaming River or search for steering shaft.

I just put a Borgeson in my 86 4x4 Burb the other day. Best $227 I have spent. I bought it direct from Borgeson. I got the one that is u-joints on both ends. Glad I got rid of that crappy rag joint connection. Was super simple to put on. I'd recommend their product. Looks well made and the ease of install are 2 pluses.

I have one of the Borgeson shafts as well. It's a very nice piece.
The shaft I bought has the rag joint end on it.
I hate that crappy little rubber biscuit, but it's to late to change now.

Like 86dieselburb said, u-joints on both ends is the way to go.

Mine is from Summit.

AGR also offers steering shafts for our trucks. Not sure if AGR is the actual manufacture or if one of the listed names above supplies them w/ the steering shafts.
