rig it up help

[fordman]

i have a f100 4wd it has this type of steerign column extension on it. http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 28&t=40044

there is a plate that goes on to hold that rod into the cup and it is held on by soem sort of clips or something. well my cips or whatever is missing. the only thing holding it togehter was a R key. since i took it off when i done the cab swap the R key will no longer hold it all together. because the cab sits on there right now. how would you rig it up. i want to drive the truck this weekend. i need to go get some wood.

Jeep CJ's and a lot of the older GM products used a very similar coupler.

Shouldn't be too hard to find one of those.

nothing like these in my junkyard.

I agree with 70_F100, lots of other makes used the same 'looking' coupler, Dodge and 73+ Chevy Trucks comes to mind.

Also there is an exploded view of this slip joint here in the lower right corner:

thank you. i was going to look at a dodge truck on monday. i remembered tonihgt that they may have a similar deal on them. i will also check out that link. it sure looked right to me. i would have liked to have had the truck going today but time kills.
