Guest Phil Kehn Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I have a 1949 Dodge half ton pick-up. I had to beat the stuffing out the rear u-joint to get it out and I need to replace it. The end caps are knurled and there are no snap rings. The end cap measures 1.143 or 1.144. Any help anyone can give for getting another one will be appreciated. Phil Quote
Phil Martin Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 The u bolts should have a little lip that holds the caps in place. Quote
Guest Phil Kehn Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 I still need a new one. any thoughts as to where I can get one? Quote
MBF Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 If you have a NAPA nearby or a driveshaft shop with a guy with white hair and a pot belly they can probably match something up for you if you take in the old one. It'll take an experienced parts guy that's been around awhile. Good luck. Mike Quote
Phil Martin Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 I took my old joint to local parts store. They had one in stock. Quote
