Looking at my truck, I have a 1310 'short' yoke installed currently. It may be overkill, but I may goto a 1350 yoke (driveshaft,etc). My question is, do all yokes interchange? ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

As long as it fits the transmission and the length is a match you should be good. I tried ordering a 1350 yoke for the ranchero swap but they were on indefinite backorder at the time. I wound up using the 1310 yoke from the '85 crown vic and a "combination" u joint to match up with my drive shaft. Not something I'd do with a hi-po engine but this was basically a stock swap with the emphasis on the AOD trans. Chuck ------------- Chuck 72 Gran Torino Sport 13 Taurus SHO "Mr Pig" |

I did some digging (as funds became tight), and had a 1330 trans yoke... Using a 1310 driveshaft, to a 1330 pinion yoke.. Combo U joints are great.. For now, I think a 1310 with a non trac lok rear end on street tires will be fine. I'm not exactly launching the truck anyway. As funds allow I'll get a trac lok, traction add-on device of some sort, and a better driveshaft. This one came from the shed at the local junkyard.  ------------- Paul 77 XR7 460/C6/3.00:1 *SOLD* 78 XR7 523/C6/3.5:1 79 F100 460/TKO500/3.25:1 'I also have some left over potatoes-I understand you can generate electricity from them'- Foote500 |

I never heard of a "combination" u joint before this last endeavor. The guy I talked to did mention the sealed ones were stronger than those using grease fittings. ------------- Chuck 72 Gran Torino Sport 13 Taurus SHO "Mr Pig" |

I don't know, Paul, you are running BB stuff...when I swapped to the 2.75 carrier, it's got got a 1350 setup, but I am running the 1310's on my driveshaft.
I bought a new HD u-joint for the caps, and swapped onto my 1310 on the driveshaft. Ran the short leg of Powertour this year and been driving around just fine.
Still need to rebuild the N case, will probably just stick to the 1310 as I am not drag racing {shrug} and after this much abuse it's still ok.
