Steering shaft

[2wdBlazer]

Anyone know the spline sizes into the box or into the column or length? I would like to get a custom shaft made since I can't find an aftermarket one.

Oh, This is for a 4x4 as well.

Do you have cross over? If not, you should consider it before getting the sterring shaft made, especiall with the big meats you got on that thing.

[2wdBlazer]

No Crossover and don't intend to. It drives very, very straight already and really doen't have bump steer at all. My stock shaft is on it's last leg though. I have contacted Borgeson Corp and they need those measurements to make a custom shaft. They are very good strength and quality.

Anyone know of a company that sells shafts that will fit? I don't wanna take my daily driver apart to make measurements.

Take it to Bob's machine shop over the bridge in Ruskin.

Anyone got A parts truck laying around for measurements?

19 7/8 from the ltip of the clamp where it joins the column. that is with about an 1/8 between the clamp and the round black part of the column. and is measured from the lower part in the rag joint?(4 bolts that hold the shaft to the box. ) 36 splines on the column end. i couldnt get the other end off to count but i imagine its the same.

Thier is a guy over at CK5.com that sells them for $75 I think If you go to the salvage yard you can get one out of a van and cut the center section down the vans use 2 ujoints like the flaing river joints and a vibraion dampner My joint with the dampner for my truck came from a van and Im using a flaiming river at the coulume and I only have abought $85 in the hole thing would have had alot less if I would have known abought the van thing.

Cut out the middle section [-------------]
Drill out thr area where the shaft is 3/4" and put in a chunck of 3/4" chrome rod [=======] BLING BLING

Very trick and you lose the Collapsable junk. Done it on my 2wd, very easy to do..
