| − | 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 that's being used here. 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.

| − | As you can see, both the Double D shaft and tube has to be drilled and tapped for set screws and jam nuts. For safety purposes, this is a must.

| − | From left to right: 1st is the double D shaft and tube, with the tube having a set screw and jam nut. 2nd is the outer steering joint, with a lower steering column bearing attached, which goes ino the tube that is coming out of the firewall. This helps to hold everything, for added safety. You can't see it in the photo below, but it also has a set screw and nut on the Double D tube. Also, a set screw and jam nut has been added to the opposite side of the locking bolt. 3rd is the inner steering joint that attaches to the column on the inside of the cab. 4th is the bottom of the '93 Buick Park Avenue steering column that's being used in this example.
