Ujoint 54 windsor

[captden29]

 

I am trying to identify this U-joint - the original box has the number DJ-7225-2. This should be for a 1954 Chrysler Windsor but I don't know if it is the front or the rear u-joint. Trying to save money by only having to buy one and not both. The part was made by General. It is an OEM part. If anybody can cross-reference it, I would appreciate it.

 

Thank you,

Capt Den

My parts book shows these part #s for C60 and C62   Universal joint packages  USA built

 

  1450445  axle end

 

   947550    transmission end             perhaps you can have these numbers crossed over to the part you have.

I think 1953 -54 Chrysler six cylinder cars use the U-Joint some what similar to shown above but the two Bat Wing style end caps are curved instead of straight for the 53-54 Chrysler six cars.

 

I parted a 1954 Windsor Powerflite out that has these curved end cap joints requiring two curved bolt on retainer plates where as the style shown above ...the Bat Wings are a direct bolt on to the companion flange.

 

DeSoto used the same two retainer plate U-joints for 1953-54 as Chrysler did... 

 

Here's a couple pic's of this odd type of U-joint for 1953-54 Chryslers six cars....

 

You need to get under the car and look to see what ya got before you buy one..

This is why you should look for catalogs when going to swap meets.  Look through the venders catalogs and look for the catalogs that will provide you information about your car or truck.

 

I have found the various catalogs at very reasonable prices and the knowledge and information that I have gather is priceless to me and others.  But if you want to be in the hobby you need to help yourselves.

 

But here is the information

 

53-54 Winsor  Borg warne Mechnaical  114-2123  also MOPAr number 986493

 

Cros reference to

NEAPCO 280900

republic CB2066

Precision 519

Spicer 5-2066X

Perfection RG-2066

Western N-2066

 

This was al  taken out of my catalog. So if you had the catalog you would have know the information and can start your own information library.

 

Yes the forum is to help people with their cars and trucks but there are things that every owner can do to get and gain more knowledged

I looked under the car and pulled the axle end driveshaft. the ujoint there has the batwing style.the one I have must be the front one.i will have to pull the entire driveshaft out to be sure. then I will need a source for new ones a little less money than the ones I have seen. the right ones could be more or if lucky less. capt den

Your car could also use a MoPar #1450445 depending on serial number of car.

a friend of mine is supposed to hook me up with a shop that does driveshafts. if it is an old shop with an older mechanic I may get help there. thanks for the replies. capt den

The driveline shop will probably modernize the shaft.
