Kerry,

Why is the OEM unit so robust - my guess that it wasn't designed for the GMC and is used in other applications.

You have noted that it will allow to collapse in a crash, will it compensate for the changes in the body to frame distance as you
drive down the road?

I have the same stuff on my roadster. Good stuff, very precise, robust and NO slop. NONE. The 'collapsible shaft' is the DD
shafting with a nylon pin that shears in an accident to allow it to collapse. The standard slip shafting is very robust, slides
smooth and has NO play. It's more robust that any auto you've ever seen.

Flaming River is another company with similar products. Almost every street rod in the world uses these things.

The more I learn about GMCs, the more I wonder why the OEM unit is so robust. We go from a standard GM steering column shaft to
this big honking thing back to standard size stuff.

The only question in my mind is how Alex will be able to center the boxes? He'll have to make a new fixture. :)
