I need a steering shaft

[BobK]

I'm looking for a complete steering shaft for my 71 Blazer(4x4).
I just need it to be REAL cheap as I'll be cutting it up.

This is what I need.

I've got one on ebay for $1 with no reserve. It is from a '77 but looks identical. Make me an offer and I can pull it off the auction and just ship it to you earlier.

ARQ.

Thanks guys but I just got through looking at all the guys trucks at Blazer-Fest and I think I'm gonna go in a different direction.
I don't think I'll need that shaft now.
Thanks though. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Full hydro-electric steering.



Just kidding.
I wanted to get rid of the steering rag joint and add some u-joints.I got a steering u-joint from a 86 full size chevy van and was going to use that.But I would have had to cut up my orig. steering shaft to do it.

After seeing what other guys have used I'm just going to copy them.

What are they using to eliminate the rag joint? I need to do this as well, mines on its last leg....

I was going to use the u-joint from the full size chevy van.I'm still going to use a u-joint but I don't know which one yet.I have to contact another CK5 member and get some part numbers from him.

Looks great Burt. Do you remember if it tightened up your steering any?

Ya I had a less shaft slop were the rag joint was and also the vibration too the steering wheel increased.Not that bad but after my first 4hr rd trip to Pismo I did notice it on my hands more than before. But well worth over what I had, just the safty factor alone is huge /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
The best part is you cut to length and I needed a longer one /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif
