Ok, I have a drive shaft that had no yolk on it and it is tapered on one end, which end does the yolk go on? The tapered end or the fat end? I have no clue because it didn't have a yolk at all and it will be mated to a 904 and 8 3/4 rear. re even a difference?
Thanks in advance
 
My factory 69 383 is tapered on both ends. Please elaborate.

If its only tapered on one end, it goes towards the front. I agree, that yoke is hanging way too far out on that pic above.

I have seen similar conditions on totally original cars. The habit of the Y O K E only sticking out an inch from the tailshaft is a guideline, not an absolute requirement.
 
The skinny end of the torque transfer shaft gets the transmission connection thingy and then goes forward. :)
 
Funny how the thing that we call a drive shaft is referred to as the propeller shaft in the Mopar manuals!
 
Crap, DrDiff is right. I had it backwards. There is a reason for the taper but I cant remember what it is.
Cass, will you be getting the 489 cases back in stock soon?
 
I de-listed 8.75" third-members because I have been swamped lately and I don't want to be buried in online orders. I'm still building them on a regular basis.

I still don't know when I will receive my big order of Sure-Trac helical differentials. Because of the pandemic, my supply chain is messed up.

Oh I can answer the question all right if it was spelled correctly, a driveshaft is NOT an egg. The question was answered above...

Oh really? You know the answer and it was already answered "above" ? Well check post #15 genius then go back on facebook with the rest of the insulting keyboard warriors. I came here to ask for help, not to get harassed by the grammar police.
 
Thanks Doc. I was going to call you about it since I just purchased a bunch of 8 3/4 stuff from you but figured I would ask here first. Again, thank you
 
Yolks, yokes and yokels all come together here on this thread. stay tuned!
