I have a 1933 1934 1935 Chevy steering box. I am missing the pitman arm and I tried using a Vega arm and the splines are the same but when i slide it on the taper is way off.

Does anyone know what I can do to make this work?

Cut the Vega arm for a matching taper. Most any well-equipped machine shop will have different tapers. I bought a 1 1/2" per foot taper tool from Speedway Motors to re-cut tapers to match on the T roadster I built.
