Chris, this is how I did mine. Summit and Jegs both offer a smooth bore u-joint that will fit the column and is retained by welding or drilling a setscrew hole in shaft and using a setscrew. next, a mid 70's chevy pu has a collapsible shaft that is the same diameter as column. or you may be able to cut off the wagoneer joint and replace it with the new joint. anyway, jegs also makes a splined ujoint for gm/jeep steering gear. use it at the other end. I used a chevy shaft for three reasons. 1-it was long enough to cut off ends and still have plenty of shaft left. 2-it was the right size. 3-I had one. seriously, once you get your joints, just do a little junkyard shopping. you might find one that works better. Another idea is to take the wagon shaft to a machine shop and have them drill out the joint to the size of your shaft and add a couple of drilled and tapped holes for set screws.
