What other splines should I check besides the drive line connecting the engine and torque converter?

That shaft between engine and torque converter/ transmission should be turning at engine speed.
There is a drive coupler in the flywheel housing made up of (5) rubber pucks sandwiched between steel plates. The rubber pucks must have failed but are somewhat dragging
Awesome thank you so much for the information, I’m going to pull that apart now

Another possibility is the splines could have torn up in # 7 or # 13 . The (5) pucks I’m referring to is # 12

Diesel Dave you were spot on. The rubbers were disintegrated inside of there

Hey Dave, I got everything back together, the booms working awesome, only issue is no steering still and it will only drive about 5 feet

Transmission oil level is good ? Replace the transmission filter looking for metallic debris.
Check the standby hydraulic pressure on the steering / brake pump mounted under the radiator.
