Car 70 Coronet was missing U-Joint girdles when I bought it.
Not sure how many different kinds there are or which ones I need.

Big block or small block. Girdles / straps that hold u-joint to yoke?

I have quite a few. Let me know the bolt spacing on your yoke and I will send you a couple if I have extras of your size.

They just need to match the U-joint size (7260 or 7290) and have the right bolts. If your yoke has threaded holes (which I think all the 8-3/4s did) you want regular bolts, not u-bolts. I used something like these, the bolts screwed into the yoke so I didn't need the included nuts. I may have had to shorten the bolts a little, can't remember..
