I have a rearend that I am putting under my T and it came out of a 60's Sprint car. It is a 1957 Olds or Pontiac rearend but has had the yoke changed out to a wing type U-joint. I need a stock yoke. I tried using a chevy but wrong spline. The one I need is a 13 spline and larger than the Chevy. Are there any cross refs that I could look for or does anyone have a stock yoke. I can not find anyone around here that has one.....
That yoke looks like a 1955 or early 56 Pontiac yoke and they don't interchange with the later(late 56-57)rears.The yoke is larger in diameter and the pig is QUITE a bit larger as well as the axles.I believe that the style of yoke you have now goes back quite a ways in Pontiacs anyway.Don't know of any interchange.
Thank You. It may be a 55 or older but my problem is that it is a wing u joint and not a standard u jiont. Can not find the wing type. The rear end does have the bigger pig. I may not be able to switch to a newer style yoke so I just am tryint to find a standard yoke with big pinion 13 spline.
i will check the shop tomorrow.....i have a odd olds / pontiac center of pre 57 vintage.....it does have a cool locker kit in it ....with blocks and springs...i guess to slip a little bit ....? brandon
