i'm in the process of switching a 64 chevy pickup body onto a 78 suburban frame and the steering shaft is about 2 in. to long now i'm putting a body lift in but i'm thinking that the steering shaft is still going to be to long and probly not angled right how sould i shorten this steering rod? or would it maybe be best just to swap in a newer style column out of like a 70 chevy pickup or 78 suburban?
thanks
Nate

the way the power steering kits do it is cut off the flange,use a 5/8"bit to drill through it,then weld it back.the 67 up column has a collapsable shaft you could use.or you could cut the shaft and weld in a u joint.
