Rembrant Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Denis Carpenter sells this same shaft for the very early Bulls. http://dennis-carpenter.com/steering-intermediate-assembly/p/E0TZ-3B676-A/ What is different between this one and the later ones anyway?

'87-91 is a direct fit, and includes both an improved upper U-joint, and vulcanized rag joint. They're very common & affordable in JYs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, What do they charge for them in your area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Steve, What do they charge for them in your area? I haven't bought one in decades. I swapped early-on; when my '83 was still mostly '83. Probably in Louisiana or Texas in the late 90s. Because that style never wears out, I never needed another. Now, I'm using the '92-up column & its matching intermediate shaft. But this says $10-15: https://www.pullapart.com/locations/memphis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this says $10-15: https://www.pullapart.com/locations/memphis/ There is only one truck of the 1987-1991 era at the local pick N pull, and that is a 1991 F350. I did take a look at the steering shaft on one trip, but it looked like the bolt was upside-down where the shaft clamps on to the steering box input shaft. However, the wheels were straight... I must look at it again next trip, but when I did take a glance at it last time I didn't look like it was going to be easy to remove... Should be just as straight forward as the 1980-1986 shaft, ya?
