Archived from groups: alt>trucks>chevy (more info?)

I was trying to move my 77 3/4 ton the other day, the motor was not
running, I tried to turn the steering wheel (to hard) something broke
now the steering wheel just spins free and the wheels are not
affected. The truck has a new steering box and a replaced (used)
steering colum. Someone else must have done this, any tips on what I
broke would be great.
Thanks

check the rag joint between steering box and column.
