Default Tko 600 transmission yoke

I need to get a TKO 600 transmission yoke for my corvette with the U-bolts. This is for a 1969, so I believe in need one for 1330 u-joints. Any one have a part number or a place to buy one. Thanks Don

Give SST a call. You a couple of things to consider. You also need a shorter like 29 inch drive shaft. My keisler came with a drive shaft that included 12 point u-joint caps. the front was a larger 1330 and I think that our rear pinion is a 1320. I just remember that they were a mismatch which I thought was dumb, but you used the stock diff yoke

I believe the SST TKO-600 kit came with 1330 front and 1310 rear spicer solid u joints for the drive shaft.

When I did my conversion a few years ago I could not get a TKO 600 yoke with the appropriate size u-joint for my '79. Not sure if they are available now. I ended up using a conversion u-joint. If you are stuck and need the details let me know and I will look in my records to see exactly what I did and get you part numbers.

I need to have a driveline built anyway. I just need the slip yoke with the u-bolts or bolt on straps. I have contacted a couple of transmission companies but haven't got any reply's back.

Try Inland Empire Driveline pt# IK-SY-C6-1310Q, CHROMOLY YOKE (C6/TREMEC TRANS YOKE).
Just finished my install a couple of months ago.

Everyone I talked with told me they only recommended 1330's for the front and 1310's for the rear on the driveshaft because of the tight tolerances in the transmission tunnel on our Corvettes.
They said they would sell me 1350's for the front and rear but I would more than likely need to cut and modify the trans tunnel.
I was also told that the stresses on the drive shaft are much less than on the half shafts and the half shafts is where beefing up the u joints was critical.
Your call though.

I think that's the one I used. I used a conversion u-joint to go with it. This u-joint has a 1350 on one side, and 1310 on the other.
