Not sure but I now that Jeep went to power in 74...usually the steering parts are up to the end of 73 and from 74 on...

i have bought 2 NOS steering shafts w/coupler and weather/grease boot from I believe Surplus city Jeep for around $40-5O. This is an option if you cannot find the coupler and boot

[Duane]

ok, ill check out surplus city, just ordered the windshield base weatherstrip from memphis equipment, gotta get new felts for the inside of the windows, make a new transfer case lever boot, and then a repaint in the spring.

I too was looking to repair my steering coupler, the "trunnion" style. It was cheaper and easier to buy the entire steering column for about $40.00. "No Muss No Fuss"! All of the parts and much cheaper than the individual parts. What I really would like to get is a new rag joint. I am sure that some of the Full Size Jeeps are the correct one. But I don't know which one.

Don, did you get it from surplus city?

The rag joints were available years ago from fork lift companies. Believe it or not, that joint was used on older Hyster fork lifts as well as other equipment!! I don't remember the model but thats where I got mine.

I don't remember who had/has them. I did get them via eBay and more than one vendor had them. I am out of town right now, getting home later tonight. I will search and see if I can find an NOS one on the web.

VPW has the joint material themselves, but not the complete rivited joint. (that I know of)

Remembering your picture, I asked VPW about one of those rag joints earlier last summer. they said that they didn't have any.

If you call, and they mysteriously find them. Let us know, I would still like to have one.

Here you go on the NOS upper steering shaft.
Great deal in my opinion. Very pleased with mine.
