Re: Project: Patina (1949 Chevrolet 1434)

most all trucks that have steering not going through header will need this 3 ujoints and a heim joint. heims can be pricey but there are guys on ebay that sell them for like $9 which is a good deal. The ujoints and shafts you can also get off ebay from sellers, I get the stainless ones. So far they seem good. Some guys are extremely picky with steering parts and only by flamming river or borgeson but at 70 bucks or so a pop that adds up. choice is yours. another note of safety is to use a telescopic shaft, but since most these shafts aren't straight to begin with I think the telescopic shaft isn't as necessary as if it was just one long straight shaft which would have better odds of pushing your steering into your face in an accident.
