Hi everyone I'm new on the forum and I just need a little clarification on what exact steering shaft would fit on my truck I drive a 1993 c1500 regular cab short bed and from what I understand a 84-00 jeep cherokee Xj would be a almost direct swap to my trucks original steering shaft with the rag joint ? is that true or did I misunderstand something? any info would be greatly appreciated I have a video of my truck on youtube if you all wanna check out the truck ill drop a link just let me know have a good one guys and thank you in advance.Just got back from Pick N Pull where I pulled one out of a 94 Jeep Cherokee XJ, it was only 11 bucks total and only took about 20 mins to do. This made a great improvement in the steering on my '94 truck.
Thanks,
Thinking About doing this to my 89 Chevy 1500 heavy half do you think the junkyard would have this shaft?
Will I still be able to bring it to the alignment shop and get the alignment done?More than likely, that is how I got mine.

Yeah sorry i worded it wrong my local junk yard didn't have the shaft how much did they charge you for yours?I don't understand the question. You are replacing steering shaft. This is the part between steering box and steering column.
All adjustable parts regarding alignment are after the steering box. The only adjustable part upstream, so to say, is the steering wheel, and you are not affecting the column itself, so steering wheel orientation can still be changed if required.
In short, the answer would be yes, provided that I understood your question correctly.
I paid $25.00 for it.Yeah sorry i worded it wrong my local junk yard didn't have the shaft how much did they charge you for yours?
Well, I tried to do this upgrade with this part:

PERFECT FIT JCXJ84 Steering Column Intermediate Shaft (listed for 1992 Jeep Cherokee including others).
However myriad issues with the swap. First, I didn't find there was a plastic part inside shaft. The extension movement of the shaft is limited by metal lip, keeping the shaft from separating or compressing too far. Further, the shaft cannot be compressed enough with the lip in place.
I could have solved this with the angle grinder, but the second issue is more concerning: Top bolt to steering column appears to be in a different position than the stock part.
