MikeRL411 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 From the Pix there seems to be a broken C clip on the rail. Could the cure be as simple as cleaning out the recess and installing a new C clip? 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 quote: "68 510 but it's converted to rack and pinion" This info might have helped earlier. If it's custom how can someone offer anything but a poor guess? So what's original and what's not. What's the rack out of? Make and model? Is it even Nissan? 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 FWIW the 720 truck uses a small U joint in the column. That's what I thought that was.. There are several used in the early trucks but only one for the '83 and up 2wd. 48080-20W10 if you want to look it up. They ain't cheap so get one from a wrecked truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
