you can see mine isnt tapered, you will figure out yours as soon as you take off that upper bolt and flex joint. more scarier is that it looks like the slip shaft on yours is slid almost all the way out, like there is only an inch or so in there. let me just reiterate, being cheap on steering or brakes is a damn stupid way to die.
should use the same setup as mine, 1" to 1" DD ujoint at the column, 1" to 3/4" DD slip shaft, and 3/4" DD to 30 spline ujoint at the box.
do not reuse the rag joint.
here is my parts list I order.

Thanks for the pics. I have a couple questions. The coupler that fits onto the spline at the steering box, looks like the there is maybe a set screw and lock nut. Does that just tighten down on the spline? On the upper end how's does the coupler tighten down with the big hole in the column?
