what steering box are you using?
u-joints and DD shaft are commonly used...but youll need to know what sizes to get..
1st ..determine the spline count of your steering box..if it has splines...not sure what you have..
the other side of the u-joint will need to be 3/4" DD male....then i would use the 1"DD female...this way the shaft will slip..one inside the other...then the upper joint will be 1"DD u-joint...the other side of the u_joint will be whatever the FR shaft is..
rag joint is entirely up to you..youll get a little more vibration without one..ive run without with no issues

i use a grinder with a cutting disc to cut steering shafts

going back and re-reading i think you still have all the stock steering..correct?
if so itll be a good time to upgrade your steering box...does the column tube go into the steering box?..
i would rip it all out ..replace steering box...mount the column where you want it..and then measure for the u-joints and DD shafts
for DD shafts and joints i use borgeson products
