Technical Open Drive Conversion - 10 Spline to 6?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by patmanta, May 19, 2014.

  1. Ok, so I pulled a stupid and won an auction for a 10 Spline HRW Open Drive Conversion, and thought I got a great deal... Until I realized that all my rears are 6 spline. HRW DOES sell the yokes separately, but it seems cost prohibitive to go that route.

    That leaves me 2 options.

    1. find someone who can use it and sell it on.

    OR (& why I'm posting)

    2. Find something that will work with the kit to run my 6 spline rear.

    So, does anything come to mind? I'm eyeing some Winters QC yokes at the moment, but I don't yet know if they're thick or long enough to work with the collar and seal.
     
  2. Ive got a NOS 4.11 10 spline ring and pinion if you want to just make the swap.....pm me
     
  3. No, sorry, I appreciate the offer but that's not what I'm trying to go for. I've got a 3.78 I want to run. I've already got an open drive truck rear at that ratio.

    What I want to know is if there is a yoke I that will work with these kits with little or no modification.
     
  4. contact hot rod works or sid at rodsville and just buy the different yoke.
     
  5. The price I got from HRW was a jaw-dropper. Too much to make any sense in this case.

    I shot an email off to Rodsville, thanks for the suggestion!
     
  6. you might do a search through the tech archives, i wanna say somone found a yoke that matches the pinion for their open drive thread.
     
  7. I found a couple, one of them didn't have an ID and I couldn't find the shop they used. The one that ID'd a Spicer 1440, well I can't find any of those for sale anywhere.
     
  8. Just peddle it and get the right stuff. Take advice that from a man who has done work with it, adapt it and use it for way too many years.
     
  9. Yeah, that really seems to be becoming apparent as the only reasonable option here.
     
  10. FOR SALE now. Gotta get a 6-spline kit.
