Forged differential side yokes for a -78?
Hello.
Eckler's forged side yokes appear to be discontinued.

Could you point me to right direction for such parts, please?

I doubt Ecklers made those, probably are International Axle yokes. You can go direct to them for them if you think you need them. The question is what is your application? The 17 spline new or rebuilt yokes sold by everyone from Lonestar should hold up to 500 hp, over that and I would use Tom's 30 splines and then mod then a little and grind to fit.

Thanks guys.
I'd prefer to stick with 17 splines.
Anyone know how much HP those cap style HD yokes can take?

And how about those Vansteel flanged yokes?

My car is a -78 with a mild SBC 540 hp/560 lb-ft. It has a TKO600RR and final ratio is 3.55:1. Car will never see slicks and probably not strip either, instead I will do some track days with it.

I'm definately going with a forged or other yoke since I have the diff out of the car!
Good luck - sorry I didnt' post earlier on this...it just happened.

With great offline help from Dan the Van Steel (see above) I went with their HSHP-05 yokes. I just got an e-mail on Monday this week from Duntov's telling that they should get forged Super Duty yokes within a week or so, in case you are interested in them.

You made a good choice in yoke...and helped me decide to throw those HD yokes in the recycle bin!
Good luck on your install!

I have heard Tom is comming back into production, I just hope it isn't after shipping the tooling overseas.
Other yokes pictured look like Lone Star stuff, if they are I'll just about guarantee they are from China, buyer BEWARE!
I checked out some "Lone Star made" rear wheel bearing supports and they were pretty NASTY! The parts came from India through Lone Star. I wouldn't use them myself!
