In replacing my rear u-joint, I discovered the yoke had suffered some abuse. See pic below:



I need to get that last bit of the rear drive-shaft. Does anybody know how model specific that part is? Will any 2nd gen truck work? Can I get it from a runner? Mine is 20 spline, is 4cyl lower spline count? Any help received would be useful as I am going junkyard hunting tomorrow morning.

Thanks

 

no difference between v6/4cyl, they should all interchange in terms of spline count. you might bring yours to match bolt pattern, some of the v6 ones are odd [only 88/89 i think].

 

Just gonna have to get the D-shaft balanced again.

 

Or just pull a whole shaft at the junkyard

 

Or contact colsoncj. He has some for sale cheap.

 

I might have a couple laying around as well!

 

Lol....yeah, I'd thought to mention you first, but figured you'd post up if you had any already.

 

I'd bronze that thing and hang it above your fireplace!

 

found one locally for $25. perfect fit... thanks
