72-rear end help needed
I purchased a new differential for my 72 at a swap meet. I was told it came out of a 65 or 66. The yoke is smaller than my old one (roughly 3.75 vs 4.125). Of course I figured this out after the rear is in the car. I'm told that I can buy a u-joint that will allow me to use my driveshaft and the new rear as is. Does anybody know where I can purchase one?

Re: 72-rear end help needed (randy72)
You could swap yokes, but that large nut holding it on is super tite....without a 1/2 inch impact, you may not get it off, much less tight enough ....
those special universals are available through most large parts houses...like NAPA or Driveline Service....
expect to pay about 30-40 bux for it though....not cheap...
