Steering shaft length

Post by Art Ebeling » Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:47 pm

My late Oct 11 built Touring came with a steering shaft that is 52 inches long from the bottom of the pitman arm threads to the bottom of the top flange. It seems too short making the pitman arm interfere with the engine pan. What length steering shaft should I have? Thanks, Art

I'm going to bet that 52 27/32 is what you want.
