Robert Horne Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Came by the driveshaft that looked similar to my Plymouth shaft, on the ends.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1999-Chrysler-Town-And-Country-Rear-Drive-Shaft-CV-Boot-Bad-4660369AB-/320899762218?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ab71dc82a Quote
TodFitch Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Very interesting. Everything old is new again. Quote
desoto1939 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 I looked at the pictures and the end housing is not the same as what was used with the old Detroint Pin and tunion housing. Not sure what year your plymouth is. The drive shaft length might be the same but you will also need to know the length from the center of the of each pin hole. These old drive shaft had different lengths, but the hosuing would fit on these drive shafts. I have several catalogs on driveshafts and u joints. Send me the year of your car and I might beable to find the information if my catalog covers your year and model of plymouth. Alsonote that some sellers on ebay say that the housing and u joint will fit Chyrlers vehicles but you need to know the measurements on the housing to be sure. There was recent listing for Dodge/Ply/Desoto and Chrysler U Joint for 30-40 on the Ebay. I contacted the seller and we determined that the housing would only fit the Willys becase the flange was only 3 3/8 wide and most of the flanges we need are 3 5/8 inches wide. So buyer beware some people do not know what they are selling. Rich Hartung desoto1939@aol.com Rich HArtung desoto1939@aol.com Quote

My point was, that it is similar in looks on the ends, to my 38 Coupe. Right now, I am on the hunt for a 87 to 93 Mustang, 4 cyl, auto. driveshaft for my 38 Coupe, since I have installed a 87 Ranger trans, and a 95 Ranger rearend. As you say, many sellers do not know what they are selling, and often do not give good measurements.... Quote
