Re: Hooking up steering w/ camaro IFS
The bearings side is tapped with three holes. You will need to drill three holes into the column base . That is how it is retained by that into the column. DO NOT TACK. If its not I would suggest tapping it. Now for the steering stuff you can buy steering joints and some double D bar from summit or use the camaro steering shaft if you still have it. You can weld on either. I would suggest the double D bar and joints form summit. They are sleeker and and look better.

Re: Hooking up steering w/ camaro IFS
Can you elaborate? My bearing has no tapped holes. Perhaps some pictures would help me vizualize it. So, will the 3/4" DD steering shaft slide into the female portion of my camaro steering shaft? If so, i'll run the 3/4" DD from the female portion of the camaro shaft up to where it will intersect with the factory shaft. I'm not by the truck right now but the factory steering shaft seems to be about 3/4" diameter. Is there a u-joint that will accept the 3/4" DD steering shaft on one side and accept the round steering shaft from the column on the other end? I appreciate the help. I'd like to assure that I order the right parts
