^^^^^^this may help you alittle, not a chevy but same problem.

copy and past

check the steering shaft right before it goes into the steering gear. the shaft comes very close to the frame here on that style truck. you can remove the cover for the shaft and heat/hammer the frame down enough to clear it or make a small notch for it with tubing

normally what happens on those trucks is the steering kuckle will hit the control arm.


You can notch the control arm, buy tublar's ... or put a double bend shaft in it's place...


the slip sleeve should help a little bit though, as those trucks were made to allow the steering shaft to colapse.
