Re: 1969 GMC.. right off the farm

Couple quick things I tried to get done recently:

My power steering box leaks a little from what appeared to be the input shaft seal. Was pretty beat up so I grabbed a seal kit. Ordered both Edelman PN 7095 and 8525 because I found both on Rock Auto and I am not sure what year my PS box is from. Ended up being the 8525 kit that worked. Went in super easy as described in this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=619634

Also my rag joint was pretty beat up so I wanted to rebuild it per this thread: https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=614332

I ordered the Dorman 31000 kit and then easy took apart my rag joint. Bolts came right out and then just ground off the studs and tapped them through. Was pretty excited that this was going to be a very cheap and easy solution however the rubber disc in the 31000 kit is not correct. The 4 hole pattern is much smaller dia for the hole centers than the one in my steering coupler. The dia of the rubber disc is the same but the hole pattern is more inboard on the rebuilt kit. Couple pics to show how it wouldn't line up. Guess I'm going to try to return this kit and find out what complete rag joint assy that I need.
