Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
Dont have on but want one. It looks like a smaller one that come on big petes. They last long time if you grease the u-joints properly.

Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
 I bought peices not the premade one (first gen spline count is different) but it is Borgeson and it works awesome

Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
Nope, I made mine using an Astro Van and stock 74 shaft, cut, flipped to work. $10 at the wrecking yard, plus a couple of set screws. Not as sleek as Borgeson but it's not a show car.

 I happen to be working from home today. My first look I found the part # for the Vibration dampner u-joint. Quik story ~ I bought the wrong one at first, painted it and tried to mount it after...they would NOT take it back cuz of the paint! BOOOoooooo, I sold it for 40 bucks. Anyway I bought the DD slipp shaft, cut to fit and the steering wheel end # I still need to find: on 11/15/2004 ~ 034940 = 3/4"DD & 13/16-36 spline (I first bought 034934 = 3/4"DD & 3/4-36 spline) It was $103.95 (back when I had lots of credit, Doooh!!) I first bought the non-dampner version (cheeper) in the 90s. When I put the 454 in and uesd ORD engine mounts and started thinking alot more frame vibration will be present so I upgraded that part.

Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
I put one in the K5 I used to have. Good solid product. Installation is straight forward. Just be sure to paint it if you get the bare metal one.
Though I have to say that OrrieG's is a fantastic alternative.

Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
You could just go with a Jeep XJ shaft, that`s what I did. Cheap and effective, very popular swap for 4X4`s, like $20 at the Junkyard and about 20 min to install.

Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
I have one but actually a little different. Mine the swivel went on top because the bottom ( at the gear box) was still the same attachment type for the rag joint. But I really do like it

Re: Borgeson Steering Shaft?
Here's a good older thread on the Borgeson option.
