i got an after-market s10 style for mine, but i went on ebay and bought a junk yard steering mid shaft from a mid 90's jeep grand cherokee. it bolts right in and uses a universal joint rather than the rag joint. it was a btch to free up the colapsing feature, but it looks way better and takes up way less space.
