IZ, where did you get those u-bolt style pinion yoke things? I picked some up from o'reilleys, but their computer had them listed as a f-150 non 4wd, so i don't even know if they'll work yet.

I got the entire thing (yoke and u-bolts) from Ebay. Just search for "dana 60 yoke" and obviously match whatever U-joint series you're running .

I was thinking of putting a goober weld on each side so it won't spin.

Oh yeahhh .. that'd work too!

I think I ended up using 2 c-clamps, one on each side, to relieve the pressure off the clamp.

Update???



Please

Update???

I know, I know, tell me about it.

But this Lt. Gen. has me in front of the computer slaving away up until at least Wednesday morning, maybe even towards the end of the week depending on how things go tomorrow. Man its going to feel soooo good once I get all this work done!! I'm probably going to go streaking across Germantown on my bike!! Just to get all the stress out

This guy carries all sorts of yokes and ubolts. He has ones for 14 bolts that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Had a few hours of free time today so I cut down the Chevy S-10 driveshaft to proper length -- well the back still needs ~1/2" removed but I'll ask the shop to do that during retube.

You might as well update the title to 60 pages of BS now...

what's keeping that double cardan in the middle of the driveshaft from spinning all over the place?

You :

Kidding, it will have whats called a center "carrier" support. It already has the bearing on the rear stubby driveshaft, I just need my brother to turn a mount (looks like two clamshell halves) for it on his lathe.

Looks like this in stock format:

Killer trans mount bro! Is that treated wood? Or did you go with the green alternative and use bamboo? :notworthy
