Part 14: The 1991 Chevy OBS project truck like all OBS trucks could use some upgrades in the steering department. Without going crazy and trying to stay in our budget, I am upgrading the lower steering shaft with its spongy rag joint for a Jeep Cherokee unit that has universal joints. These universal joints eliminate the "slop" that is present in the Chevy rag joints. NOTE: Do your research if your truck is different, later OBS year trucks don't accept this modification because the steering shaft is designed differently than the earlier years.

Several key takeaways:
1) The steering shaft is a near bolt in unit
2) If it makes you feel more comfortable, drill a single hole as shown in the video to place a nut and bolt through the hole in the Chevy upper steering shaft end. I did.
