For an alternate take on replacing the intermediate steering shaft, go to Youtube to see a vid Jim Fawcett did a few years ago. Here's the link:

I did this change and so far works great. I called Borgeson (860-482-8283); actually asked for the James Fawcett special, explaining what it was; they looked up his old order and sent that to me. The U joints are part Nos 015240 and 014349. I think the telescoping shaft was No 450024 but not sure on that one. They can look it up. Total cost wast about $260 as I recall.
I will say this does require some modifications and you have to be very careful about measuring and so on. Take a look at the video to see if this if for you.
