Brocky Posted Wednesday at 11:35 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:35 PM Swishy, Thanks for the videos.. I have seen a few of these trucks in person when I was Down Under in 2015.

One portion with inner splines resides on the end of steering column where it normally is. And the similar #2 attached to the steering gear U-joint. Possibly shortened to a certain desired length judging by a seam (?) near its middle. If all is that way it turns out the central portion of the shaft can travel front-back having splines at the both ends. No?
