I've heard about conversion u-joints but I've never seen them. I took a Shaft off a fullsize bronco and cut the yolk off and welded it onto my shaft. Everyone says to have it balanced but I never did, doesn't vibrate too bad. You might be able to find one that is the right length. Your shaft will pull apart at the slip yolk, look around for one that has the right length back section. A bronco/f-150 shaft will slip into it. I never bothered looking for the right one, I had my bronco shaft sitting in the garage already.

yes they have conversion u-joints. I have used them and am currently using them.

Believe it or not, some Fords had them conversion joints as a stock item. Got mine from NAPA. It's covered up in the tech library.

yep, also known as the Ford "bastard" joint. its a 1310/1330.

 

[broncobuyer]

so is that the u-jiont i need, the 1310/1330? does anyone have the part number?

 

[NMB2]

i just went out and found my spares... the 1310/1330 is 5-134x or 1-0134 at advance auto, and the 1310/1350 is 5-460x
