So I am installing my driveshaft for the first time on my '67 and of course I have none of the original stuff. The rear end is original though. Anyway, it appears I need special long u bolts to attach the rear u joint to the rear end. The machine shop that did my driveshaft said there was a couple years that the yoke was thicker and I need 2 1/8 in. long u bolts to fit properly. He said they aren't made anymore. The u joint caps are 1.125 dia. . Has anyone run across this? Otherwise I need to change the rear yoke. Paul
I also had a rear end with no u bolts. I had the same issue with u bolts from Ames. I made them crawl under one of their cars to prove they were too short. They eventually sent some that worked. Check with them.
Yep, Ames said they have them. Only used on 67-69. 2.28 in tall. pt # FR830P Ordered today. If they don't work I will post another reply but I think they are the ticket. Thanks Bob
