I bought mine a couple months ago and it seems like a nice, clean conversion. I recently put the body on the frame... that's when I noticed how much I need to shorten the steering column.
It doesn't seem that cutting a few inches from the center shaft would be such a good idea since that would remove the splines.
Any advice from someone who has been down this road?

Measure how much you need and then mark the shaft. Hold a piece of wood against the end of the shaft and drive it in. It is collapsible. It will take significant force to get it started but then should go easy.

I ordered one a few days ago. Delivery is estimated to be 4 weeks.
Spoke directly with Borgeson and they confirmed about 4 week wait. Prices (existing manual or power) are essentially the same at most every major supplier. Select a dealer that includes shipping and does not charge sales tax. Then you are gold.

Back in stock at website I linked up.
Still only $391.49 + shipping which worked out to $419. to my zip.
Part number for power steering box by itself is Borgeson #800108 and the drag link is #990002
Good luck
corrected drag link # per AJ
