Another upside is if you need to remove the steering shaft for other work it is much easier to remove than the stock set up. Just my thoughts hope it helps and good luck. I think total I spent 104 dollars. Here are the links for my parts if interested. Mine was also 36 splines and 3/4 inch.

the u joint that hooks into the steering column is just a D Shaped end. |
Interesting. Do I just use two of the universal joints with the shaft of get a new rag joint?
