So it needs 3 kinds of sanitizer? Who wears flip-flops in April? (or ever?) I've got 6" of new snow outside...
When I did this same up-grade in my 1991 V3500 Crew Cab I went with a steering shaft from an early 2000 Chevy Express 3/4 ton van that I got from RockAuto. It bolted right in.
Was 74* in garage when I took that picture, shorts and flip flops, since March.
Edit traveling day I like to drive the wife's sports car bare foot

these type of people should not work on cars................
I laugh my ass off if this guy would have posted that on the old Pirate 4x4. Would have been a great roast dude would have to change his name and move to the Philippines lol
The short answer is no, the column has a splined output shaft rather than the hollow shaft with two flats.
I used an '01 express van 3/4. No melting plastic, just bolt it in.
That’s a nice option. Any pictures of it installed?
When I did mine, the slip shaft helped because of my body lift.

Is this what you guys are using for the Express "drop in" steering shaft?

And just to be clear, this is a bolt in for which year of the trucks? IIRC, one or both ends changed how the shaft mates up to the column and steering gear...?

That seems about right. I can’t find my order but I just looked up a 2004 express steering shaft and ordered it. Like mentioned, the only thing I needed to do was make clearance for the bolt on the steering wheel end. I just used a small die grinder. Installed in my 87K5.
