U joint

A good parts house will have a cross-over catalog for U-Joints. they are made to cross different yoke sizes.

Now.....finding a good parts house is like finding
a winning lottery ticket

if you have the small rearend, you are screwed! there is NO crossover joint for the 7-7 1/4 rear end. if you have the 9 inch rear, you may have to buy 2 joints to make 1. all just depends on the rearend.

Rear end

I've got the small rearend in my 61 Econoline Pickup. I have a rearend from a 71 Challanger that I am going to put under the Econoline. Anyone know off hand if there is a crossover u joint that will fit the two together? I didn't know there was such a thing. I was gona get a driveline shop to put Mopar u joint yoke on the Econoline driveshaft. That crossover sounds much easier if a valiable.

Drive Shaft

If you have a DS shop nearby.....USE IT!!!!!! The cost up front will be too cheap, when you're sitting on the side of the road.

Good thought. That crossover would be hard to find just anywhere if at all. With the mopar u joint I could get it most anywhere.
Thanks
