    Mine is shot. It's 1000 series ujoints, 1 1/4" diameter tube. I figure finding a good used one is impossible. The drive shaft players want me to switch to 1310 yokes telling me the small stuff is not available. What are others doing? Thanks

    I switched to larger diameter tube & the 1310's. I was able to get the differential & transfer case yokes from Herm.

    Do you have a lift? At stock height, the starter is very close to the driveshaft.

    Yes, no lift, none planned. It can't get bigger in diameter or it will hit the starter.

    Try Midwest willys? Jo got me one for my 4cyl chassis when I needed one.

    I had cjtatton ebay build one for 150 new slip joint and ujoints. In Utah I think.

    I went with Tom Woods. I am in the same situation, no lift and no room for anything bigger. Not cheap but it's good equipment.
