slip yoke dilema

94Dodge Truggy · 06-20-2007, 05:31 PM

I am trying to figure out how to adapt a rear driveshaft to a dana 60 to a NP241. (damn near the same as a 231) To say the shaft will be at an angle and short is an understatement. Doing it the expensive way is easy. Anyone know of a strong way to shorten the tailshaft and to get a double cardon shaft to bolt to the yoke from the case? I am using 1410 joints and am thinking that I may be able to machine the cases outer slip yoke, weld on a round disc, machine that true and put on a bolt pattern to match the driveshafts flange. and turn it into a flange to bolt up the driveshaft. To shorten the case I am thinking will require buying the tailshaft. Thinking of the hack and tap deal I have seen before. Any ideas? :confused:

You could make your own hack n tap for it. But would be alot easier, stronger and time saving to just get a good SYE kit for it.

I know for the 231 they make a short SYE kit. It gives you 3 more inches over the standard kit.

I talked to him and used your jeep as a reference about that sarge but he is in a rush to play with it.

We comp cut mine and had everything except the fuel pump and drive shaft done in one night. It aint rocket science. order a an RCI cell and lengthen your own DS and your golden . or skip the cell and just put the fuel tank in the rear in place of the seat . Tell him to take his purse off and get cutting
