Figured I'd ask before I took more time than I had to pull my steering box to accurately count my splines.
I need to order steering parts.
Please help?

What parts do you need as they should not need spline count...if stock replacement parts

nope, not stock replacement parts, custom steering for my MANchero.
sitting on a 89 F350 frame.
turns out I counted 18 splines for 1/2 the shaft. confirmed it with a quick google search.
3/4"-36 spline is the gear box shaft.
using a 97 steering column, gotta be custom... stock parts wernt long enough.
I coulda made it "work" but im tryin to make this rig nice

ordered 3/4"-36 spline to 3/4" double D steering u-joints,
2 3/4" DD u joints, 36" of 3/4" DD shaft, all zinc plated.
and a oversized heim to support the shaft.
gotta keep it low and out of the way.
