Gotta love that rule!!!!

the top ones almost look like impact tools. like 3/4" stuff. that might be an option, but the junkyard FWD stuff is probably alot cheaper. unless you have some old/broken tools you dont need.

here is mine, its a T bird u joint and it works great. As you can probably tell this was in mock up, many moons ago.

These U-Joints bolt on so it might make your install easier than those weld in types...
Although that installation above looks top notch with the weld in type.
Do you guys know what year t-birds are compatible for this? It does bolt right up to the stock steering assembly?

i dont remember exactly where i ordered them from. but they arent impact or socket. they were some kind of heavy duty automotive ones. i also like that junkyard rule.. except theyve caught on here and now check your tool bag as well.
