This is a link that shows what a borgeson shaft is. It is a quality shaft, that uses a needle bearing u-joint, instead of the sloppy factory pot coupler. Hope this helps.

pulltilbroke, is that chain in the first pic, a limiting strap to keep from breaking motor mounts?

Yep, I need to engineer/fabricate a new mout to eliminate the chain but still keep cushion in the mount. I think solid mounts woud shake the rest of the truck apart

You should try to find someone that repairs soft ratchet straps, and have them sew you up a short, fat little bugger with some sort of eyelet or loop on the ends, to tie it together. Should be strong enough. Would be cleaner, and softer than the chain. Up here at the big swap meet by me, there is a lady with a booth that repairs snatch straps and ratchet straps super cheap, while you wait. Might be a trick way to go. Just my two cents.

The joints are available from Speedway motors
This is the joint I used

http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway- ... ,6632.html

The shaft I used was out of an 86 gasser. It was 2 1/2 inches longer then the original shaft off of my truck.

The gasser shaft measured 19" from the column side of the rag joint with the rag joint still installed to the spot where the shaft necks down, whereas my original shaft measured 16 1/2 from the same points of reference.

I cut the shaft at 18 3/4 and the shaft side of the yoke is at 17 3/4(where I welded it)

I'd go out and take some more pics but it too friggin cold and theres about a foot of snow on the ground
