longer driveshaft yoke

[dieselfuel007]

i'm working on a 72 k10 with th350 np203 driveline i moved the driveline forward 2 inches for a big block and now the rear driveshaft is almost out of its splines does anyone make a longer yoke to put on the shaft to save me having to have it lenghtened. the splines are on the driveshaft its a fixed yoke at the transfercase

Lengthen the driveline, if you've never had one done save yourself some time and stop by the driveline shop and ask them how they want you to measure it, from what point to what point.

well the yoke just slides on splines on the end of the driveshaft it doesn't look like it would be that bad

I don't know if different length yokes exist. I've not seen anything but stock, and have always either shortened or lengthened the driveshaft as required.

The link didn’t work. Go to the Fort Wayne clutch website.

They do make a transmission yoke that is longer, ask me how I know

Not sure which transmission you are running but check the link.

IMHO....the longer yokes may be an "easier" fix, but they may also be a future source of issues....

I would suggest you get a longer front driveshaft made up by a specialist shop....the driveshafts in these trucks can move in and out 3" with suspension movement....

More if the rear is dropped....

Just my humble opinion.

Like I said, I have no knowledge about a longer yoke. If such a thing exists, he's a lucky dog if he can get one and then use it. This site is great for helping people find stuff for their trucks.
