Re: Steering Box Outside of Frame?
if you have 4 u joints, you dont/wont need a slip shaft. a slip shaft is used when the steering column and steering shaft are in roughly a straight line, so that collision force doesnt make a spear out of the shaft in the column. if you have 4 knuckles, the force will all be at angles to the column, and will likely fold over, not transmit the force to the column.
also what steering column are you running? most modern (1972 or so, and all aftermarket) GM columns have an internal crumple area. I have seen guys use bearing kits on stock (older than 1959) columns, those columns are the dangerous ones.
