If you are mixing and matching Steering colums/steering gearboxes in your truck we can help you find the right steering shaft.
Steering Column
Some 1972 and older - Uses 3/4" Column shaft - 36 Spline (very crucial to check this one because not all of them use this joint at the column)
1973-1978 - Use 1" Column Shaft - 48 Spline
1979-1994 - Use 13/16" Column Shaft Diameter 1DDx1DD
Steering Gear Box
1967-1976 - Use 3/4DDx13/16 Steering Box Shaft - 36 Steering Box Spline
1977-1994 - Use 3/4DDx3/4 Steering Box Shaft- 30 Steering Box Spline
Make sure to check what is on your truck!
