rebuilding driveshaft

[Even]

I gotta rebuild my driveshaft for my 60 soon, does anybody know off the top of their head what size u-joint is used in a 79 f250 ford d60?

Also i think i have to get it shortened slightly, how would i measure how much?

And for the front 44, i can use a 1310-1330 combo right?

you can get yokes for any size u joint you want on both axles

i just run the stock 1310 size

Yea i assumed that, but because i dropped lift down 3 inches and the pinion is quite a bit longer on the 60 i thought i would have to shorten my tom woods. So i figured screw it ill rebuild it to use a larger u-joint.

i just run stock xj front shafts at both ends

perfect length and only need one spare

What exactly do i need to do to change the pinion on the 60?

yoke?

its just held on by the pinion nut. make sure its torqued to spec and if you reuse the nut use loc-tite

haha yea i meant yoke, i would just order a yoke that accepts a 1310 joint for a d60?

iirc there are 2 different spline counts on 60 pinions

if you are regearing your pinion comes with the more (finer) splines
