Pre '68 Dave what type of tranny & year/s was that housing used on ?
I never seen a rear housing that looks like that.
MikeA777 are you sure your truck is a 1/2 ton ?
Post a picture of the entire drive line.
Picture of 4 speed tranny with u-joint attached.The 4 speed tranny was used in a 1950 3/4 ton truck.
The only way to separate the u-joint is to remove, the whole u-joint assembly from the tranny by
running a socket through the center of the yokes and unbolting the front yoke from the tranny's main output shaft.
