For those who made the switch to a 9"
What have you done for the driveshaft? I know there's a u-joint to use the chev small 1310 on the driveshaft and the larger ford 1350 on the rear yoke but that's just a cheap fix for a swap.
For those who have changed the rear yoke on the driveshaft to accept a 1350 u-joint what have you done for the front u-joint?
When I eventually get my diff in, I want 1350 u-joints on the front and rear. What slip yoke fits in the tranny for a 1350 u-joint?
