Anyone have a box w/a mfgr. name and part# lying on the bench? thanks Jim | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Seems to me a good parts man can look it up from the application.

Restoration vendors have repops, but I think they are all made in China. I find NOS joints on eBay occasionally. I think I would prefer a good used over a Chinese repop. Is your joint broken? If not, it may still be good. I remember years ago a lot of good joints were replaced and the problem turned out to be the bushing in the torque tube. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 55 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 55 | The yoke is OK, what I need is essentially a rebuild kit. I had the misfortune of having an aged member of the fair sex pull out of a parking lot whilst gabbing on a cell. I pumped for dear life and threw 2nd gear and tore the ears off one side of each of the bushings and reduced most of the attachments into metallic dust. I can hit the catalogs for aftermarket kits. but I'm getting tired of the mask and gun beating. The kids at the parts counters are just that, kids, I feel strongly that that parts can be had, I just need a starting point( traceable and cross-ref numbers) thanks jim | | | | | Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 177 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2002 Posts: 177 | Chevrolet's part number is ; 591642. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 | The yoke is OK, what I need is essentially a rebuild kit. . . .

It looks like you are looking for the "cross assembly or cross piece"? Is this somewhat what you are looking for? If you are not interested in parts from a reproduction parts vendor (I do not blame you - the last poorly fitting set I got had been made in South America), maybe chevyb has what you need (send him a Private Message and find out). An email or PM to wdoftexas ( wd.foster@verizon.net) might also be worth a try. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | or try Obsolete Chev parts in Georgia. He has some NOS stuff and may just have it. | | |
