Toyota CV joint... High angle vs Low angel???

This has been my original post on other forums. I am expanding my searches.

How do I identify a toyota high angle cv and a low angle cv?

What years and what aplications (front/rear) do I look or ask for?

Are there tell tale shapes, dimples, notches, etc. I can look for?

Need to find a couple high angle cv's to use for the rear of a two piece shaft and a spare.

OK,
here is the newest brain storm (number 6, I think). Dave (at Marlin Crawler) and I came up with this idea.
I need a carrier flange off of a turbo drive shaft. They are bigger diameter. I then should be able to drill out the bolt holes in a v6 front shaft CV, mod for increased flex, and run it for a rear. Should work.

Anybody know where I can find a flange?
Anybody done a two piece to one piece conversion?

New intel. Don't think the "turbo" plan will work. But we are pretty sure a Taco 4x4, 2.7L x-cab driveline has the flange I need.

Anybody got one of those?

why do you need the CV in the rear? how much lift are you running? i had to modify my IFS CV to re-use it up front with my square driveshaft, but its sitting at a rather steep angle.

Long story:
Building a 7s racer and I am not running the front axle in this truck, I pulled all that extra weight out along with the trany. I installed a 2wd R150 trany. But I am not real happy with the "slip yoke" driveline at the trany with all the flex angle of 16 inches of rear end travel. I feel it would wipe out the bushing at the back of the trany so I beat this by making a 9" long (the difference in length of the transfer case) front half of a 2 piece drive line to run 0 degree angle out of the trany. The CV joint will then do all the work.

OK Taco flange idea a bust. Still have one more slim chance on a part that might work, really doubt it will but hey, keep fingers crossed.

Meanwhile need to start looking for a complete V6 Taco rear two piece diveline. Y'all know where I can find one?

if you have the cash, i would call up high angle driveline and have a talk with jesse rather than try to rig something up for your rear driveline, especially if its in a race application.

how much weaker is the 83 CV?

If anyone has broken one, maybe I'll take apart my 85 and the 83 CV shafts and put the bigger center shaft and flange pattern on my round rear driveshaft and leave the smaller stuff on my spare Square Driveshaft.

Trying to do "off the shelf" parts. Makes it easier to find replacement parts in the future.
