Astro shaft

What's up people, so I just visited my local pick a part and found several astro/safari and jeep steering shafts, I'm getting one tomorrow and will pull multiple ones. If anyone wants one let me know, I will get them for you at no charge, all you have to pay for is shipping to your address and whatever the part cost me which after taxes should be no more than 15 bucks. I'm doing this because I love these cars and I'm sure you guys love your cars as well and I believe in helping people. So rather buying one from somewhere let me know, I'm going one day only.

Jackie

Re: Astro shaft

Are you doing anything to them, like cleaning them up or repainting them or clocking them before you ship them? Or are you just pulling them and shipping them?

Awesome member we have here. I sent him a pm about an Astro shaft, he pulled, cleaned, clocked and painted it. Week later it was in my hands.

Re: Astro shaft

Do you do anything other than pull them and shop them? If I remember reading another thread right, they need to be clocked for them to work for the Camaro.
