Goin a little crazy trying to find the right yoke for my short tailshaft Buick T-400.

Seems like the great majority of T-400 yokes are for the long shaft models and even the other than Buick short tailshaft T-400's take the larger OD yoke.
Said yoke measuring approx. 1 7/8 on the smooth seal area over the splines."

The Buicks measure 1 11/16" OD approx in the seal area and I'm guessing the spline count is the same at 32 splines for both models.

Does anyone have or know where I could get a small OD yoke?

I can trade a good condition 1 7/8" yoke plus some extra or buy it outright.

(I did run all over town, trying all the decent parts houses as well as several places that do driveshafts.  Only place I found one was at the Buick dealers, but at $122. per copy that was a bit much considering the parts houses sell them for about $60. per.)

Looked at a number of places on the Internet and all I found were the 1 7/8" OD yokes....


Long as I'm asking questions, is Spicer #5-3022X equivalent to NAPA #372?
Doesn't seem like the #372 will do the crossover of Buick trans yoke to Ford driveshaft.

Or . . . should I have asked for a conversion from Spicer #5-134X?
This one should be for the rear - Ford driveshaft to Ford 9" pinion.

I wrote down 5-3022X as the front u-joint.
And wrote down 5-134X as the rear u-joint.
Don't think I got them backwards, but maybe.


How come I end up with all the weird problems?
