Solid Axle Swap
Truck of Month
I am pretty close to having the parts I need for my 8.8 swap in my '86. But I got a quick question about what flange yoke to get for the 8.8. I understand that the Ranger comes stock with 1310 u-joints, correct? What about a '76 F150? I will be using the drivetrain out of that in the Ranger, and want to go with the same u-joints on both ends of my rear driveline and do not want to use adapter joints when the drivetrain swap is finished.
The guy at the local driveline shop said that the 1310 u-joint is the correct one for the '76 and that there is a flange yoke available for 1310.
So I guess my question is, if I order a 1310 8.8 flange yoke, will it be the same size as the yoke on my 205 transfer case? Not that I don't believe him, it's just that I've heard that 1330 and 1350 were also used back then and I don't want to get the wrong flange and end up having to use an adapter joint.
U-joints are frickin confusing.
