Drive shaft flange yoke - Solved !!
Posted by: lars49
Date: April 02, 2013 03:02PM

I got my modified rear end from D&D. It is from an S10 and has a flange attachment.

I talked to Mark at D&D about the drive shaft and he told me to modify a drive shaft from an S-10 that has a double cardan joint. I picked one up at the local pull & pay and the shaft is 3" in diameter and there are clearance issues. I really would like the shaft to be in the 2 to 2.5 inch range.

I now need to get a P/N for a flange yoke that will mate with the differential that uses 1310 or 1330 U-joints. I have done a number of Goggle searches and have not been able to come up with anything.

Does anyone have an idea as to where to start?

I used a 67-72 chevy truck driveshaft. Its a two piece but either piece is more than long enough to use and it is 2" o.d. I would think you could use any flange off the original s-10 shaft and pop it on one of the joints. Of course the 2" shaft would have to be shortened with at least one end getting the end yoke clocked and welded.

UPDATE:

I found the following flange yoke that is mostly what I want at Denny's Driveshaft

[www.dennysdriveshaft.com]

It uses a 1350 u-joint - a little large, but since it is at the differential end, I shouldn't have any problem with clearances.
