I keep seeing 8 3/4 center sections refered to as 'chunks' on this forum. Since I was a kid, I've always seen them referred to as 'Chucks'. Nowhere other than this forum have I seen them referred to this way. Who's right?
 
I've never heard 'em called anything but a "third member" until after I invented the internet
 
Carrier assembly and Third member are the technical terms for them.

The word "chunk" is a slang word meaning "section"

Drills and *** kicking movies have Chucks.
 
I always heard carrier. Also why is it Ma Mopar calls the drive shaft propshaft?

There are lots of different terms. Between GM, Mopar, and third party parts catalogs, there is at least three different "technical" terms for the input shaft on your manual gearbox. Ma calls 'em a "pinion." No, I'm not talking about the rear axle.

So "input shaft", "main drive gear", "clutch gear", and "drive pinion," and maybe more

You cannot really make it out, but this diagram of an older GM 3 speed calls it the "clutch gear"

third member, center section, carrier assembly, pigs head, snout, center-chunk.....all in the nomenclature man!
 
I've always heard it as steering boxes being "chuck" and the drop out center sections being chunks (although "pig" seems to get used more).

Hey how about the PRNDL (pronounced perndal). Never heard that until I started on Mopars. Everyone else says "shift indicator". Snobs.
