Andydodge Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 I'd be looking for a front sliding yoke from a Mopar from the 50's to early 60's, as far as I know the 4 bolt flange is the same size thru the years including the Ball & Trunion arrangement so with the driveshaft with the flange and sliding yoke I'd then get the driveshaft from the Jeep Cherokee and have a driveshaft place such as that used by truck shops of even a reliable machine shop get them to install the front yoke etc onto the Cherokee driveshaft...........this is essentially what I did.........I installed an Oz Frod diff in the Dodge about 15yrs ago and just bolted the Frod driveshaft up then bolted the front flange and sliding yoke on the front and remeasured & worked out what needed to be taken from the old driveshaft......I then took both shafts to a local machine shop who, whilst they couldn't balance the shaft were experienced enough doing local speedway, hillclimb and truck shafts........haven't had an issue since...........also it helped that the two shafts were essentially the same diameter so there was no issue in the shop welding the mopar splined sliding front piece onto the Frod shaft...........they set it all up in a large lathe to cut both the shafts....................andyd Quote
48ply1stcar Posted June 25, 2018 Report Posted June 25, 2018 I have had this in mind for when I change the rear axle. Quote
