    I'm getting ready to get a new driveshaft made to mate up with the 9" i just installed in the car. For the guys who have done this...did you just use the smaller front driveshaft yoke and use a conversion u-joint? Or did you get a larger yoke? If larger...what fits factory-wise...I'm guessing one from a truck/van, or something. Wouldn't mind picking one up at a salvage yard...just not sure what to look for...
    Any help is appreciated...
    Thanks!

    my new shaft is being made as we type,i switched to 1330 joints,i usede a slip out of a late 70's half ton pickup.i am just using the flange yoke from the 8.8 i am using but a 1330 rear axle yoke should be easy to find at the yard.

    Get the larger yoke. I bought mine new when I had the driveline made. There is no point in running a strong rear end and then using a weak ujoint at the front of the driveline.
