steering shaft

got a question
i have to make a custom steering shaft and wanna use flaming river or borgeson products because i need to add universal joints to the shaft. its a 1993 toyota 2wd pickup w/o power steering. and i was wondering if you guys could help me find the spline size on my steering box so i could start designing my new system from there.
thanks for your time

Why not get a 4WD shaft, has u-joints on each end, can be extended or collapsed to a wide range of lengths and probably has the right splines to start with:

U-joint at the top:


U-joint at the bottom:


More info:

The '88/9 and older shafts are adjustable for length.

i dont know if a 4wd is gonna fit and im not sure thats gonna be the solution to my clearance problems plus this is a show truck and i can get the aftermarket parts with a plated or stainless finish which would look alot better

OK, was not aware of your requirements, just offering a suggestion. One sure way to get the size of what you have is to pull it out and measure and then see what is the closest SAE size to work with.
