Correct rag joint for

[mattfranklin]

I have a 1970 C10 with manual steering.
I'm trying to stay as stock as I can, with AC Delco parts and so on.
My steering box was loose I got a new rebuilt one by AC Delco from Rock Auto. I ordered and installed this:
"ACDELCO 36G0013 {#19321268} Reman; Professional||Remanufactured Manual Gear"

Rock Auto says this box fits from my year up to an '86 C10.

My original box had a slightly smaller shaft with a flat spot.
The new one is a 36-spline with no flat spot and a 0.720" diameter.

My old rag joint will not work.

What is the correct rag joint? I'd prefer a GM-branded part, but I realize that AC Delco is not quite what it was and actually Dorman is probably ok, too.

I was looking at a Dorman 31011, but their inner spline is missing for about a third of the circle. Not exactly a flat, but just a spot without splines cut. Is that what I need?

What is the correct part for this? When I start searching for stock they don't give me spline counts or diameters and I know my original stock rag joint is now "wrong.". When I search on spline counts and diameters all I find is Borgerson or Speedway custom u-joints that sure don't look stock.

Thanks very much, James! The description for the '68 is much clearer than the one for the '70. I'll order the Lares 202.

Just checking in.
Part arrived this past week and I installed it.
That Lares 202 did the trick.
Thanks again, James!
