I have the stock 12 bolt rearend and one piece driveshaft in my 63. My trans is a 700r4 from a 85 chevy..

My truck came with a 283 and auto trans from the factory..

Need some help ordering up some U joints. I dont have the truck here with me to compare the old ones side by side...

Rear - 1350?
Trans - 1350 or 1310/1350 conversion joint?

am I close?? thanks for the help!

Okay... With a little investigating I have cleared things up a little..

Rear - 1310

Front - 1310(63 driveshaft)/1344 or 1350 (85 700r4)

the stock tranny yoke from my 63 wouldn't work with the 85 700r4 right?

Forget the post #2 above. This below makes more sense. the board needs to give us more time to edit our posts..

Rear Differential - 1310

Trans - Conversion joint. 1310(63 driveshaft) and 1344 or 1350 (85 700r4)

the stock tranny yoke from my 63 wouldn't work with the 85 700r4 right? just making sure

Stock tranny yoke will work if its a TH350 or PG. TH400 had different splines and wont interchange.

If you go to the spincer u-joint site
http://www2.dana.com/expertforms/depdf.aspx?prod=JOI and
down load pdf catalog K350-1-DSSP u-joint kits. look at pages 585 and 586 OSR/ISR (inside and outside snap rings). I just printed the pages 585 ans 586. You can identify the u-joint you need. I just did this on a mid 70's 12bolt rearend swap in a 1985 c10 and a 700r4. our rear u-joint was a spincer p/n 5-3022x . Follow the diagram and measure.
Good luck Popy

Almost forgot. You will still need a yoke from a 700r4. There is no vent hole looking thru the spline center. Sorry tired termanology all shot out.
