kencombs Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 I don't see any thing that supplies a slip yoke function in the new parts pic? Quote
3rdowner Posted February 9 Author Report Posted February 9 OK guys, I know I’m a new guy on this page and I’m not entitled to the secret handshake, but what does P15 – D24 mean? Quote
Los_Control Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 P15-D24 is the model of the cars the forum covers .... although there is off topic for other vehicles. The trucks are numbered differently, I have a B1B ... I believe yours being a 53 1/2 ton is a B2B .... thats all it is. Quote

Robert Harrison Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 4 hours ago, 3rdowner said: Robert, the second set of pictures are of the components I have purchased. Starting with the picture labeled “3 of 4”. 3rddowner the yolk adapter that has the 4 bolt holes 1122 682 does that fit your 4 bolt pice at the end of the tranny? If so that is a big help. Somehow the Drive line shop can probably come up with a spline and a female Yolk to match. The circlip type is a later design hard for me to say exactly when it came into play but more flexible for a solution for you more standard and fewer parts needed. For the rear they made a bunch of goofy versions about this time I think the rear axel flange you bought is one of those. I would measure the flange existing on the axel and use it as is. It looks like the type that has a little stop in each saddle sort of a nipple to keep the cross from coming out measure between those nipples and see if you can find a cross through a local auto parts store to fit or take the measurement(s) including pictures of that flange on the rear axel and take everything you have to a drive line specialist/rebuilder. finding the yolk adapter you have is a big deal if it fits. splines are not a big deal to come up with at the drive line shops. it would be best if you can find the female portion of the forward yolk to match. The transmission end of the fluid drive shaft the yolks of course are not going to work. KenCombs layout drawing is about what I would have expected at some point in development it is simply the upgraded version of the type we used in the 39-47 verisons. Chrysler is famous for combining parts at the end of the year from over stock so its entirely possible to find a mix of ball and trunion on the front end and a Cleaveland on the rear. When you measure the spline usually the female portion of the slip joint rides about 1/2 along the spine in the normal sitting of the truck so as to have room to pull eighter direction as the axel goes up and down or rocks. This would be the total length of the drive shaft its self. Too long and as the drive shaft moves forward if it strikes the end you will damage the trans or rear axel bearings. Quote

These designated factory nomenclature for Chrysler based cars in the period. Like your truck is a B3. The sedans might be called P15 or D24 etc. Quote
3rdowner Posted February 9 Author Report Posted February 9 Robert, I have not received the parts in the picture, I am hoping the adapter does fit, as with the other parts. Quote
3rdowner Posted February 10 Author Report Posted February 10 PS: not that anyone asked, but my forum name is a carry over from all other car forums starting with AACA where I started chatting. At that time I was the 3rd owner of a 1928 Chevy coach. Pulled it from a barn, original paint and interior in very good shape. Probably the best condition of any antique car I’ve owned. The B3 is rough mechanically, but the body/sheet metal is without any real rust, just light topical rust easily removed with 0000 steel wool (I will not do so, just keeping it covered with wax).
