Drive shaft slip yolk

[Kevin]

1 am new to this forum ,and have a question. 

I am restoring  my 1950 Dodge truck  B-2-C  and I noticed the slip yolk has along of play on the drive shaft spline . It is 5 1/2" center to end long . The driveshaft has 16 splines and is 1 1/4" in dia.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a new one ?

Thanks.

Hi Kevin, I'm a newbie also. Try DCM Classics in Zeeland, Michigan. If they don't have your parts they might be able to steer you in the right direction. I'm trying to get a 52 B3C to start. Getting frustrated.

I have purchased  other parts from them .

There site does not have driveshaft yolks listed neither did Roberts motor parts,

Which is another  good source for old dodge parts. 

Thanks for the reply!

I would try Wildcat Auto Wrecking in Sandy, OR.   503-668-7786

 

[Kevin]

Thanks, i will give them a call.

Your might try Andy Bernbaum (oldmoparts.com), they don't have one specifically listed but you could ask.

hi guys need some help got a RHD Dodge Special deluxe 

car has a flathead six it it with an engine number or casting number of D PDI48780 C 

trying to find out firstly what year is car and secondly what motor is this and lastly where did car come from

[Jerry Roberts]

Kevin ,  does your slip joint look like the one in Franks photo ?  The reason I ask is that I have one that is different that is available but it would require a lot of digging to get at .  

[Kevin]

No, here is a photo of what I have .

Someone has modified the end by inserting a splined insert and spotwelding it to the end. It has the Cleveland universals.

It measures 2 1/4" inside the yolk width  and is approx 5 1/2" center to end with          1 1/8"dia. Universal cap size.

 

[Jerry Roberts]

Kevin , Ok , I will dig out the one that I have buried in the garage tomorrow . I think that it came from a pilot House truck , possibly a 3/4 ton .  

[Jerry Roberts]

Kevin , This part is 7 " long . The bearing caps are 1 1/4 " diameter ,  measured across the bearing caps = 3 1/8 " , 16 splines .

I appreciate  your effort to find one for me,but I have already  purchased Cleveland  universals for the driveshaft and have installed them on the rear .

so I need the yolk that is like my photo which  has tapped holes for the cap retainers.

Maybe it's like this?

Yokes are tough to find, and what you do find is likely worn. Mine on my 51 B3C has a bit of play too. Worse case scenario, a good driveshaft shop can make you up something new that will work, but of course you no longer have a original parts.

Thanks for the input. I am going  to use this yolk with the new universals  and run it in gear up on Jack stands to see how it acts ,then I will  decide  if I need to replace it.
