XJ steering shaft mod

[WranglerTJForum]

Not to be obtuse, but since I'm a first time K10 owner, I just want to make sure I order the right part.

Is this the correct steering shaft for the XJ conversion on my 1973 K10?

Pardon Our Interruption...

I'm 99.9% certain it is, but the last thing I want to do is order the wrong part.

Until the help center can't understand English well enough to help you get a problem fixed. Then you're screwed.

It was also a scam account so they took my money and ****** my card and I never got my item or my money. Amazon did nothing for over a month and I went through the same crap every time I called. No one could understand English well enough to help.

**** Amazon. Quit referring Amazon. If everyone orders everything off Amazon, soon we will have NOTHING BUT Amazon. Then the government will "help"

Use the search function. Someone has listed a GM truck part number that is a direct fit,rather than a different make and model that I believe requires mods. I think it was off a 3500 series don't remember years.

yes. find the thread. but i made a note to myself so I wouldn't lose that info. see below. I believe @Ricko1966 is correct that it is for a c3500.

GM bolt part #11610555
Dorman shaft #425-177

If you really want to get into the XJ shaft

Jeep XJ Steering Shaft - Sweet upgrade!

Alright, cool. If you are going to do all the ball joints and then have it aligned, see if they can used the tapered sleeves to get it dialed in all the way. If you are paying for them to go into that far, get it dialed in all the way (caster and camber). Mine has also been "in spec" for the...

It's also cheap Chinese Junk. But hey, it only controls your steering. AMAZON Sucks as well as the idiots that promote it!

I do believe that what you have shown is the correct year range for the shaft you want.
Mine came from a rando XJ in the junkyard.
It was a simple upgrade my kid did to the truck.
Mine is a 2wd though.
