The front ujoint on my 56 3100 w/3 spd 235 is catching a bit so I went to replace it. I ordered the "stock" joint that appears on most sites for the truck and it doesn't fit. It was a Precision 369,also pn 1-0153. That is a straight ujoint with 4 outside clip 1.062" cups. It doesn't fit.
The joint on my truck has two outside clip cups that are 1.062" and two inside clip cups that are 1.125" diameter. There are some numbers stamped on the old joint. "054"; "N174"; "RW"; and "USA". Also, the inside distance between the holes on the slip yoke are 2.38" apart and the inside distance between the holes on the drive shaft is 2.45". I have a cheap caliper so my measurements may be off a bit, but are close.
I have spent the better part of the day trying to weave through various sites and tables to determine which ujoint I should purchase. Does anybody have any tips that could help me? Thanks.
