I still bust up laughing thinking about how Sarkis ducked and covered his head when the driveshaft let loose…too funny.

The look Sarkis gave me when my dads car downshifted the first time was classic too.
If thats what I think it is, a little birdie told me that the particular yoke on that particular F*rd part uses a stock GM joint. So I heard.
I dont know if Precision still exists (U-joint mfg.) but they had a nice slide rule type chart to pick u-joints. Another mfg. also had one, but I cant remember who. You just measure the u-joint and it tells you the number you need. Need to measure one of each cap (if they're different), and the length of the cross with caps off (both ways) and that should do it. I *may* still have a book or one of those slide rules laying around.
