Hmmm....good thoughts here.

I could try the u-joint trick and see if that could work. That seems like it would be the least invasive....for now anyway.

Since I have never set up steering like this....does anyone have a site or resource they recommend for something like that (u-joints for steering)?

I am also keeping my eyes peeled for a cheap early Dakota if this plan does not work.
