My 46 1/2 ton has the "torque tube" going directly from the rear differential straight to the transmission.. nothing between them.. and the "torque shaft" connects to the tranny with a U-Joint thing.
Te donor vehicle had a identical tranny, going to a 'baby' driveshaft torque tube thing, that mated up with the torque shaft that went to the differential.
I took both joints, hoping that I could get one of them to work, but neither of the joints have the "fine spline" on the torque shaft end.
So perhaps the part I pulled, and the part the guy from the swap meet section has, is actually a u-joint from a '42 3/4 ton?
