Best rag joints

Halp!

68 f250 ford rag joint.

Where in the bloody hell can you get a good one?

Right now the 55 year old one looks better quality than the made in China cheapo I have.

I am not putting that thing on here with everything else being good quality

They have silicone an Kevlar or something nowadays?

Knuckles with new kingpin bushings properly clocked and pressed in (want it done right, do it yerself) are at opel for at least a week, so bonus points for a local supplier

Surprised you haven't made one yet. A person with access to the facilities you do should be able to knock something out stupid fast.

I was under the impression most of the fancy shit to connect a steering wheel to a box used U-joints now not rag joints.

Oddly the A-body guys would retrofit using Astro Van steering shafts bastardized with a Jeep Grand Cherokee shaft or something like that from what I remember.

Even the safety pins are wrong dia.

Yes I know the cab is low, cab bushings are 55 years old.

No really, you, of all people, like you can't just pull a u joint and a couple of chunks of square stock that fit together out of a corner and glue that shit together with more precision than the entire r and d department that designed the thing to begin with

This was most helpful but also unhelpful...

You reminded me I have a borgeson joint somewhere....

Cons, it's 5/8 36 not 3/4 36 spline


I could waterjet an adapter to let me weld the column to the 1inch D shaft end



Anyone need this thing?

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Glad I could help yet not help.
