He was on the hunt for one for quite awhile.

I decided to take the u-joint yoke to a driveline shop to see what they can do. They said that they could recondition the yoke by welding the gouged out spots and make the u-joint bushings seats flat again.
Where I do not seem to have any other option they are currently working on it. I suspect this process will take a day or two.
It will make it so I can bolt the u-joint to the yoke. I will use thread-locker compound and safety-wire it to prevent this from happening again. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 296 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 296 | Best place to find one of those is in a junkyard. Very hard part to locate. When I did my 3-speed to 4-speed swap in my 3100, that part stopped me dead in my tracks. Luckily, a fellow Stovebolt member picked up a chassis/driveline that had the yoke still intact, and sent the yoke and clips/bolts to me.
