" Bastard" u-joint #

jprather · Apr 8, 2019

does anyone have a part # for a "bastard " u-joint for mating a small yoke to a large yoke ??

I don't know the part#, but I know Dr Diff carries them. I just double checked. Here is a link.

Everything else I am seeing just calls them a "7260 to 7290 U-joint"

That is the deal. Funny I was just going through this this morning and trying to find spicer u joints. Alot are discontinued.

You can also use a u-joint from a 1957 Oldsmobile (or Pontiac) & swap the caps.

Never knew that, good information if I can remember it. I've already had a mental lapse yesterday, I hope I'm better today.

I had this same issue back in 1984 when they didn't sell "Conversion" ujoints.
