[WANTED] 1965 valiant drive shaft

[klith]

Hey guys I'm in desperate need of a drive shaft for a 1965 valiant signet convertable slant 6 and auto. It's stuck on my lift at the shop and it's the last part needed to give it back to the customer.

What part of pa? And will the trunion come out on either of them?

 

[klith]

I have one but I'm on the west coast.

What's the condition and are you willing to ship?

Worked fine. No damage. I'd ship but you're probably looking at $100. And $100 for the shaft.

[klith]

Hot really lind of like a u hoint. Have to be rebuilt. Guess you need the other style then,.

I don't understand the first half. I don't mind rebuilding if they are service able the one I have is seized

Can you send me pictures? How's the boot? And it is for a convertable right?

 

[RAT ROD AL]

I have one fron a 64 Dart. I don't know if they are the same.

 

[grampscamp]

I can send pictures tomorrow. Slant 6 , 904. Convertible, hardtop, 4 door, all the same as the cars are all the same length. Came from a 2 dr HT.

Ok sounds good. How quick could you ship?

 

[RustyRatRod]

I thought 65 was the slip yoke.

 

[klith]

I thought 65 was the slip yoke.

I think that starts in 66. I could be wrong

 

[RAT ROD AL]

Do you need a Ball and trunion?

 

[RustyRatRod]

You may be right. I can never remember. I do know there's something different about the 65 transmission. I think it's a one year only...."whatever" that difference is.

@Charrlie_S knows. Maybe he'll chime in.

 

[chignikred]

Could you please measure and give a length so parts hoarders have anot idea to check their inventory

I have the rebuild kid i just need a drive shavft that ain't seized to rebuild or if there is a decent one and I can do less that's not gonna break the bank I'll go that route

63, 64, 65 TF 904 driveshaft is the same for Valiant, and Dart SW. length is 53 13/32 inches from the center of the pin on the trans end to the center of the bearing hole in the rear end. The Dart (car) shaft is 58 13/32 inches. However a better solution than getting a used shaft is to have a new shaft built like this. https://earlycuda.org/techdocs/ConvertFrontUJoint.pdf

 

[RAT ROD AL]

Well looks like mine isn't the the you need !

Thanks Charlie!

Thanks Charlie!

He is a bit over budget as it is. This would be awesome tho. Maybe when he comes back for motor and trans work in the winter

 

[Charrlie_S]

@RAT ROD AL Do you still have the driveshaft from the 64 Barracuda? That would be the same.
