Does it matter? Forgot to make mental note when removed. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 | you mean the slip yoke end? as long as it does not have the double u-joint on one end, the slip yoke goes on the transfer case end. That way it is up out of the way and less likely to get scraped on a rock and swamped with mud. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 Sir Searchalot | | Sir Searchalot Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,983 | As you know, there are 3 "propeller shafts". All have slip yokes. The slip end, according to 1960 GMC manual (same T221 and system), is as follows: Front diff shaft: Slip at TCase. Transmission shaft: Slip at transmission. Rear shaft: Slip at TCase.
Be sure to note that there could be factory stamped arrows on male and female slip assy. Should be aligned and pointing to each other. This is what GMC shows. Chevy= not sure. I have them on my 1960 GMC 4X4.

Thanks for info. Apparently, I made the right guess. Thought the slip yoke might be at transfer case to keep it out of danger. And confirmed the other drive shafts are also as described above. Thanks again.

They are, I guess, to ensure "phasing". BE SURE they are phased. Your slip yoke assy could be keyed with a fat spline. So can't be installed incorrectly, Not sure.
