During the installation of an okie bushing yesterday, I determined I need to replace my universal joint. Does anyone have a part number for a u joint for a 1946 1/2 ton? I’ve seen u joint rebuild kits on Chevsofthe40s and Jim Carter, but, prefer a new unit. Thanks all and thanks for the Okie install advice.

Big Tee - the original GM# is 606779 for the 3 speed u-joint assembly. Fits both 1940-47 1/2ton trucks with 3 speeds and 1940-48 Passenger car 3 speeds. If your set on an original NOS unit, check out this one I found after a search of the web.

Considering both Jim Carter and Chev's of the 40's are showing them as "out-of-stock" this one should get you what you need. The asking price is not terribly much more than Jim Carters "repair kit". Hope this helps. smile

Just read this and started to worry. I need to find my yoke that fits into the torque tube and Okie bushing. I'm hoping it's in my shed, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll have to do a full search this week. Fingers crossed. (I have a 4-speed manual for my 1946 truck)
