Finding a cross shaft can be done, however finding a good one is the issue - most steering boxes have worn cross shafts. Fact.
However....thanks to Jim Wagnon, the link here illustrates the rebuild of the cross shaft, if you cannot follow, your machinist can.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... at&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=210

Additionally, though I don't have the exact number, I do know of another fellow who brought his cross shaft to a machine shop and a week later picked it up with new bearings installed - and of course a hefty bill for adapting to new bearings...point being, it can be done, and will be better than a used shaft.
