Be careful on your final angles for the u-joints. Most steering u-joints are only designed for an angle of up to 35 degrees. Since you are adding a third u-joint I believe you will also need to add a support. There was an article about this in the November 2009 Vol 16 issue 11 of Custom Classic Trucks. It was a good read.
