Steering coupler question **UPDATE**

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.

That would make sense since it is a tilt column and I believe they used GM columns for tilt trucks.

Thanks for the response!

Yes tilt column is gm supplied. But even straight columns used it too.

After some research and trial and error I found the correct replacement coupler. 72-86 Jeep CJ with manual steering is a perfect fit on the 78 power steering gearbox. OMIX-ADA part number 18018.04

Kind of a one year only thing as they went to the standard car style couping in 79.

GOOD INFO! THANKS

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.

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.
