Saginaw 800 steering box stub shaft - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Bolted up a 800 box only to discover that the input shaft is larger than the input shaft on a stock box. Further internet research shows that there are two different shaft diameters: 3/4" (0.73") with with either 30 or 36 splines, and 13/16" (0.80") with 36 splines.

Has anyone else ran into this situation, and what did you do to adapt the steering input shaft?
