Hey if you grab the one from Dan just remember you will need a new uni-joint on the intermediate shaft as the Manual CJ box used a different coupling to the power steer one best bet is grab a upgraded shaft like the borgeson http://www.quadratec.com/products/56113_910.htm or the flaming river one http://www.quadratec.com/products/56113_67.htm I have a flaming rive shaft it was a good upgrade despite being a few $$$ (although dont remember it being any where near the prices on those links )it uses a much better uni joint set up for tighter steering and has lasted much longer than the stock ones were

Wooders Garage can get them in for you

If you go the full size cherokee one pretty much any FSJ such as a J20 or Cheorkee mid 70's to about 84 will fit fine

most of the jeep wreckers such as hunter 4x4 in Lemon Tree Passage or Jeeeparts in Qld should be able to get you one or put a wanted add on here

BTW I am moving this thread to the early jeep section
