78-79 mix and match

[bigchief_06]

:wacko: O.K. I already had a 79', 351, auto tranny, missing np203, rear 9", front 44. The body is rough but repairable. Just bought a 78', 351, np435, np205, rear9",front 44. Obviously driveshaft and u-joint differences are a problem.I would like to go with the 435/205 but i need to find somewhere to get the pinion yokes, and the yokes for the 205. I would like to go with 1350 u-joints and new driveshafts. any ideas would be helpful. I'm in New Holland ,Ohio 43145 >-

Try Bronco Grave Yard for your transfer case yoke. As for the rear axle yoke, check the local junk yards first as the F-150 shared the same parts as the Bronco. Look for a late '78 or newer F-150 or Bronco for your 9" yoke. Take a new U-Joint with you and check the yokes, chances are that you'll find one. I believe the front drive shaft is the same for both '78 and '79 but not sure.

frt shafts are the same , u can also use 2wd rear pinion yolks, so any junkyard should have one. >-

You will need different driveshafts......
