| + | From left to right: 1st steering joint goes to the steering box. This is the lower half of a Chevy Astro Van and has the same splines as the S10 steering box I'm using. 2nd is a piece of double D tubing which connects the 1st steering joint to a piece of double D shaft with a piece of double D tube attached to it, which goes to a steering joint. As you can tell everything has been drilled and tapped for set screws and lock nuts for safety. | ||
