    Is there a chart that exists, that shows conversion joints and their sizes? I have an S-10 shaft, that i was discussing shortening myself in my truck thread, so I picked up 2 joints for it, sadly the slip yoke I have isn't as wide, and the cups are smaller in diameter. The counter person at O'Reilly's isn't well versed in conversion joints lol...

    Your local NAPA should have the chart in the back of their U-Joint catalog.

    Lol I don't have a local napa, it's a couple of counties away. I have charts for lots of things, it looks like hot rod guys would come up with a database of driveshaft lengths, that would be a great thing to have.
     
  7. The Spicer driveline catalog has several charts in the back for what we call jump joints. Unfortunately, my copy was at work and some $&@“ idiot threw it away.

    Might check out the Denny's Drive Shaft site. They had some decent info on them last time I was there.
    Good luck!

    the chart tha oneball showed in post 3 works well if you know what u joints you are trying to match.

    i think this is the same info from spicer NEA-Ujoint_Dimensions_page-0007__27212.jpg
