I needed a driveshaft and picked this up out of the bed of a small (non mopar) pickup at a junkyard back in December 1999, thinking if it didn't fit I could have it lengthened or shortened. Well, I ended up getting a whole new custom made driveshaft, and don't need this one.

I'm trying to figure out what it goes to. It has a Mopar Pentastar sticker on the driveshaft, which is why I picked it up. (I was thinking maybe I could use the transmission yoke off of it) I don't see a part # anywhere on it. My WILD guess based on the other vehicles that were there is that it's some mopar between 73 & 85.

52 5/8ths inches long from center of U joint to center of U joint on driveshaft.

The yoke that goes into the transmission has 25 splines and a double wide “keyed” groove so that it can only be installed one way.

U joint diameter measures 1.085

Is the transmission yoke different on manual vs. auto trans? My cars are all auto.

Any other clues that would help?

What do you guys think, should I just send it back to a junk yard?

The groove doesn't mean it can't be installed in any pposition. That would only be true if it had a wide spline.

Hmm, I guess you're right. I imagine what ever it came off of had a wide spline, but it could go back onto a vehicle without a wide spline.

I'm not aware of any Mopars transmissions with a wide spline but I have seen yokes with the wide grooves before. I don't know what purpose that serves but I'm sure some engineer thought it was a great idea.
