Papa is fixing up grandpa’s ole Blazer
looks like you found it 
Looked up online fabricated it from a shock bushing sleeve. Just trimmed it down a bunch…looks like you found it
How deep into balancer does crank shaft go? I know it’s held on by large bolt and washer. I am about 1/4” off the timing chain cover.. this was reached using torque spec.

Steering column replacement.
Rebuild original is about 375$ parts and paint.
New Speedway 91003307
$390
Supposed to be direct fit.
Any input or known solutions to buy replacement column? Keeping it on the road build. Just don’t want crap or something that will break easily.
Original rebuilt $1500-1700$

looks like its for a car and not a truck? Plug is on top of the column and not below it like it is on a truck. gear shifter is in the way of factory that's in the dash. ( I'm probably wrong about everything, I usually am) you ad a key to it and it goes up to 450$.
Sooooo. Put oil in engine bought the drive unit goes in distributor hole so could circulate oil with oil pump. Kinda cool …. Until I remove the drive unit and the rod that goes into oil pump pulled out with the tool
Had to take a break so made MC jig to bleed brake MC then made cigar ashtray.
So now that I stopped seeing red, how hard is it to put this drive shaft, rod, whatever ya call it back in without having it inside somewhere requiring motor tear down? Is there a special tool for this process?
Here is update pic of the K5 too.

That depends, you most likely have the plastic collar as the metal collars are usually pinned on the shaft and often you can't pull the shaft out that direction as the metal collar is trapped between the block and the main cap. So if that plastic collar is still on the pump you can probably get the shaft down in there and make sure it engages and you have oil pressure when you start it.
If the collar fell off somewhere and you can't find it, the oil pan, pump, and main cap may have to come off.
If the colar is somehow still on the shaft, that's strange but you are fine and should be able to finnagle it back in there.
Looking good!
No collar is reason pulled out so….
