Title: GT350 drive shaft UJ size
Post by: Skidado on November 28, 2020, 09:36:53 AM
Can anyone confirm the size of Drive Shaft Universal Joint I need for my '67 GT350 #2751?  I want to replace front and rear UJs and I've looked online and there are lots of 'universal' sets, and some parts that are specifically for the '67 Mustang, but they don't appear to have the same cap diameter as mine.

I managed to get one off today and measure it - it appears to be 1-1/8" dia (or possibly 1-3/32").  Is that correct for all four caps on both joints?

On my car the gearbox, shaft and axle are all factory original pieces (and probably the joints too...! :-[)

Does anyone have the factory sizes to hand?

Many thanks for your help with this.

David

  I don't have a Hollander book, posting those number would help

@bob - many thanks. So it appears that the front joint has all four caps at 1-1/16", and the rear joint has two caps at 1-1/16" and two at 1-1/8".

@roddster - what is the Hollander book you refer to?

Many thanks

David

  Hollander book/manual:  Wrecking yard use them (not exclusivley) to determine what parts can interchange with each other.  And also a part number (Hollander number) is noted to help in that assisance.
