No. Not a rag joint. But I did find an alternative. The 1976-84 Jeep uses the same bell shaped part. It has two four sided nuts that fit inside. Then a steel washer and a retainer clip with rubber boot. The Chevy has a 36 spline shaft coming out of the box. Mine was splined only in about 1/3 of the circle. The jeep one was fully splined. I used all of the innards with my bell shaped joint, and every thing fit perfect. Steering good now. Especially with the brand new 8.25 x 20 Bias pies from Simpletire.
