205 driveshaft work on 241sye?

[muddybuddy]

hey there, im looking to go to eventually go to a 241SYE and was wondering if a stock driveshaft off a k5 with a fixed yoke 205 would work? i know it might need to be shortened a little, since the 241 would be a little longer, but it should work right?

 

[muddybuddy]

any thoughts?

 

[smokkey1]

well if the ujoints are the same then it should work.

ya thats what i thought. im hoping with that extra length of SYE i can use a stock driveshaft til i can afford to get a HAD one.

Well if you have 8" springs, then you would want the extra length, no?

i thought that 241 sye uses a flange, not a yoke like a 205 would

yes the lil extra length will help, but it also has 14b so the pinion is longer than stock. i guess theres only 1 way to find out....ill hvae to test it for myself and report back :-)

You can get either a flange or a yoke...i think when i do mine ill do the flange so i can run the e-brake and then have a flange-mounted yoke for the driveshaft.

i like the idea of flange so u can swap driveshafts if u break one. but then i couldnt use stock 205 driveshaft

When you go had you cant use a yoke. that means if you go sye with a yoke youll have to buy the flange afterwards to run a had. really you'll wind up spending more money buying the yoke, flange and 205 driveshaft where you coulda just went with a had anyways.

 

[muddybuddy]

had doesnt make yoke cv's?? crap

jesse might but from what i remember he doesnt but i may be wrong. shoot kidjethro a pm, hell know. thees a very good chance he may but every pic ive seen if for a flange. i prefer the flange anyway (cause there are cvs off yokes out there)
