1978 W150
Is there a kit available for this style coupler? All I find are the kits for Cars or 79 up trucks.

That's actually a GM coupler, common of the 70's trucks. Pretty sure kits are out there, look for one for say a 77 K20.

Used on most 70's trucks. Change over was 79 or 80.

Many Mopar tilt columns were Saginaw. The non-power steering box in my '64Dog is a Saginaw. That box looks like a Saginaw to me. It should have a big letter "S" cast into the body.
Saginaw Gear was owned by GM but is now a part of Delphi, a separate company.
The point of all this is there may be a bunch of GM cars using that joint.
R. I agree but finding a kit was next to impossible for any GM product with this joint. Then I happened across the Jeep ones on Amazon and bought both the manual and power steering ones hoping one would fit and worst case I would use the guts to rebuild mine. The manual one fit perfectly so Its as tight as new.
