The real issue is however IMO, the trunion style you have doubles as a slip joint, and just adding a flange and a u joint does not solve all your problems. S My bad, Andrews link addresses the issue, which I had to on my 62 dart

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Ball and trunnion parts are not hard to find, maybe in locally, but getting one isn't. www.oldmoparts.com is another source. Ran one in my 64 300 for years with a warm 413, a stick, 4.10 gears and N50 meats. Broke the rear U joint and even ripped the ear off the 8 3/4's yoke, but never broke a B&T. My older MoPars had them as well, but a flathead 6 never stressed them.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Well, there are two different size B&T joints. I am working on a 64 Dodge (for a customer) that was a /6 automatic and installing a 440 with a pushbutton BB 64 transmission. There was no flange on the rear of the rebuilt supplied trans. I have a BB 64 trans that has the flange, but the orig driveshaft B&T won't fit the BB flange. However, I also have a 64 trans from an Imperial, and it has what looks like an 8 3/4 pinion yoke on it that I removed. I will get a driveshaft made with a slip yoke shaft like a truck, pretty much what the above linked article shows. Any case, here are a couple pics of that yoke, it looks just like the one the 741 rear end in the car. Has #2882284 on it and 20 HT W stamped on it also.
