Transmission to propeller shaft connection

Hello There!
I have bought from a Dodge truck (76-79, don't know the type  ) a 318 with a 727, but without a propeller shaft. On the transmission's output shaft, there is a fixed U joint.  Here are some pics of it: http://www.pearlart.hu/attis/levi/PICT0425.JPG http://www.pearlart.hu/attis/link/valto/alul.jpg http://www.pearlart.hu/attis/link/valto/felul.jpg http://www.pearlart.hu/attis/link/valto/oldal.jpg http://www.pearlart.hu/attis/link/valto/oldal2.jpg The part number is 2882994. I would be very happy If someone could give me the information about the connecting parts. (parts number, what kind of truck has this configuration) |

You have a propeller?
Seriously though, all you need to do is find a donor truck thats like yours. It looks to me like your missing the slip yoke, and the rest of the drive shaft, basically two parts. You can probably round one up, at least for a sample, if not a usable one, in a junkyard. There are lengths differences based on variables such as long bed, short bed, and two or four wheel drive. But it appears to me you have a tranny from a two wheel drive truck...so that narrows it down to whether you have a long bed or short bed. Most likely, if you have a short bed, and can only find a good slip yoke and drive shaft from a longbed, you can have it cut down to fit, if you get a driveline shop the right measurements. I believe the u-joint for that is a 1310 spicer u-joint, but any parts store will carry it, or one form another manufacturer,. just give em the year and model number. In my experience, dodge used the same size ujoint on most of the two and four wheel drive models in that year range. (73-93** Im not sure on the internal spline count, but that looks like a pretty standard dodge truck yoke. You should be albe to get a fairly accurate measurement of your driveshaft length (for a donor truck) by measuring from the flat strap mounting surface (the face where the bolts thread into is approximately center to center of your u-joints, and consequently, your driveshaft yokes). Allow at least a few inches either way of slip yoke travel, so you dont bind or drop the driveshaft due to axle articulation. The ones on my 4x4s have about two inches to compress, and 3 to 4 to extend, but they sit higher than two wheel drive models, as well.

your tranny is made for use with a 2-piece drive shaft. i have an identical one in my Club Cab. it has a front part that has a u-joint that hooks up to the trans, the end is supported by a hanger bearing and is splined for attachment to the 2nd piece of the driveshaft, which has a yoke that slides on the splined end of the 1st piece and hooks to the rear with a u-joint.

Thank You for the informations! Speed Dragon, Could you give me the exact type of your truck? A VIN number would be fine! I talked with a machinery shop. They can make the U joint's missing parts and a sliding part in the propeller shaft. It will be from one piece. I don't really know, that I can use the 2 piece shaft on a passanger car...
Wll figure out  |
